Surgeon Testimonial Robert E. Brolin M.D. Dr. Brolin performed gastric bypass surgery 25 years ago on 2 people that I know very well. I have known these 2 people for 27 years. They are well and happy. When I first met Dr. Brolin he remembered those patients from 25 years ago including details about their lives! When I met him again at two support group meetings, I was impressed by how he listened to everyone's questions and answered them so thoroughly. He repeated every question to make sure that everyone in the room could hear them. I met him again for my consultation. He was very thorough in explaining risks, complications, and aftercare. The strongest impression I have of Dr. Brolin (besides his surgical abilities) is that he truly and sincerely cares about each patient as an individual and feels great happiness in helping people save their lives. I am so confident to have him do this surgery and know that he will be able to handle any bumps in the road, if any. The support group, which meets the first Monday of each month is awesome. I am looking forward to working closely with Dr. Brolin for many years to ensure a successful outcome! An extra note--surgery was 3 days ago and it went great! I was released from the hospital after only 1 night! I will always be very grateful to Dr. Brolin and Dr. Nihalani for all they have done for me. Another note--I am now one year out and went from a size 2X to a size two! I look great AND I feel great! Thank you Dr. Brolin and Dr. Chau for all of the support you've given me during the past year. Knowing that you are always there to listen or answer a question no matter how small means everything--thank you! Latest Surgery Support Comments

Jill's Journey
July 8, 2008
Today is my Grandpa Ben's birthday. He was born in 1901 and died in 1988. I call this the "best day." We celebrate so many famous people's birthdays--my grandpa was the greatest of greats--so I celebrate his--and I call his birthday "the best day." I don't do anything special, but I just think about him a little more and today was a fun day. I was at the swim club all day. I looked down at my feet and couldn't believe how there is NO FAT on the way down--just a nice flat tummy!! I probably looked crazy taking my own picture--but I loved what I saw!!  3 Comment(s)

Jill, Your story is so inspirational - I love your blog (when i have time i will go back and read more). I am 16 weeks out and weighed about the same as you when I had surgery. I'm trying to step it up to the next level now - more exercise! Hiring a personal trainer is my next step. My favorite photo is the bra comparison (I'm a 38DD now...can't wait to lose the weight and have them lifted!). Thanks for sharing so much, it is really helpful to read about your success. Warmly, Theresa Login to leave a comment. << Blog Home |
