Surgeon Testimonial Matthew A. Fitzer Funny, but first impressions are always so superficial. My first thoughts were (because I'd seen his picture on the web) he's shorter then I thought and cuter then I thought. Ridiculous really. What's that got to do with anything but hey you asked for first impressions. As we talked I got the impression that this man was probably brilliant. He was very thorough about what the surgery entailed and what I could expect and what he expected of me. I felt he was honest and caring and not overbearing. He was polite, respectful, and considerate. He was also obviously very much in demand and very busy but he didn't let that get in the way of seeing to my needs even though he was called out of his office twice during our interview. He was very courteous to his staff and you could tell they had a good working relationship. The staff was outstanding in every way. I felt very comfortable in the office and interacting with the staff. What did I like least about him? Hmmm. Well, I wouldn't say I disliked anything about him but I know that if I hadn't researched and learned all I could myself about the surgery before hand I don't think I could have kept up with him. He talks very fast and gave me a huge amount of information in a very short period of time. He did answer all my questions in a relaxed manner, going over risks and their percentages, aftercare, pain control etc. Before I saw him his nurse went over pre-hospitalization readiness, day before, day of, and days following as well as answering any questions. What she couldn't answer (which wasn't much) she encouraged me to ask the Doctor. Aftercare is structured and clear with lots of support. Very complete information. I feel very confident in him and his staff. I know I will get good care from this doctor. Member Interests

Finally on the Scales
Finally!!!  Went the chiropractor again today and after not being able to get a reading on their scale last week, this week I can. I am down to 343!!! I started getting ready for surgery at 377 so I am down 34 pounds. Yippeeeee! I knew something was happening but the scale was showing no movement. I had to take my NEW pants in two inches and went down a bra size, and had to move the drivers seat froward in the van TWICE! Finally the scale is catching up with reality! The HCTZ which I begged Dr. Graber to let me go back on, has taken all the fluid off and I feel much better. He asked me to decrease it to every other day so I have done that. We will re-evaluate at my next check up.
