Surgeon Testimonial

William Graber M.D.
I met Dr.Graber back in April '08, for my Consultation. When I first entered his office I was taken aback by the large furniture in the waiting room. But I didn't make the connection until later. He was extremely informative, and answered all of my questions without hesitation. He explained my odds of OHIP approving me according to their recent findings from other patients. rnrnHis assistant Lisa was a book of knowledge and educated me in even more detail about certain things I didn't even think to ask. She was very accomodating and was nice enough to consider me for a cancellation, knowing that my want to go back to PA was top priority.rnrnDr.Graber was blunt, and to the point. There was no sugarcoating anything, and that is just the way I like things. Especially when I asked about his thoughts on DS. I needed confirmation that I was making the right surgery choice, and he sealed the deal with his comments and information. Probably because his thoughts were similar to mine :) I expressed that I was a member of the OH forum, and he said he used to post alot here, but no longer bothers, which is a shame. But after reading the Ontario forum, what surgeon would want to. rnrnDr.Graber's success rate is amazing and I wouldn't even bother to follow through with this life changing decision if I didn't have 100% faith in him or his staff. I would recommend him to anyone who is seriously considering having an RNY.

1 Week Post - Op
posted on 7/10/08 6:06 pm

Everything went very well in Utica during my stay for Surgery.  Some Canadian nurses really should take notes from the American ones I had the pleasure of getting to know for 3 days.  Even though I wouldn't relive the first 2 days if someone paid me.  All in all it wasn't so bad.

The gas pains are 100 times worse than the surgery pain itself.  I have never in my life felt anything so horrid, even after having 3 C-Sections.  So when someone tells you the gas pains are bad .. they mean it. 

I've been on the liquid diet thing for 11 days now.  Im so excited to try new foods tomorrow, even though they really aren't so new.  I don't think jello or broth will be on the menu for quite some time for me.

Other than my 6 incisions (and that is low compared to some people who are bigger and have up to 20) I really don't feel like i've had surgery at all.  I was up and walking the same day.  And as of today, I have lost 18lbs in 7 days.  18lbs!!  I havent lost 18lbs in 10 years let alone 7 days but i'll take it with a smile on my face knowing there is more to melt off my body.

Thank you to everyone who sent me warm wishes and good thoughts in their messages.  It was nice to see when I returned home.

RNY .. is the bomb.  I wouldn't ever have it any other way.
