Surgeon Testimonial

William Graber M.D.
My First impressions of Dr. Graber was that he was a serious kind of guy but I later learned that he has a great sense of humour. During the consultation both Dr. Graber and his Nurse Educator where thorough in their explanations of the procedures as well as what to expect. Dr. Graber was also very honest about the risks, his complication rates and pain management.rnrnHe's staff at the clinic and at the hospital were phenomenal. Very kind and helpful. I loved the wall of inspiration they had at the hospital with pictures of staff who had WLS. Very inspiring. rnrnI also love the fact that there is a lot of emphasis on after care while at the hospital and even after discharge. More importantly, Dr. Graber and his staff were very prompt in answering any questions that I had after discharge. He is also very prompt in returning calls if you have to page him after hours. rnrnI would strongly recomend Dr. Graber to anyone who is considering a RNY.rn

5 and 1/2 months -- update
posted on 10/22/08 8:29 pm
Well I am not sure what to post here.  I have lost 92 pounds to date since surgery which is quite an accomplishment.  I that would be 112 pounds in total.

over all I am feeling pretty good.  Energy level has been fairly good and the stomach and  issues have really resolved.   My cloths are all too big for me and I am wearing things that I haven't fit into in almost 10 yrs.  YEAH!

The down side is I am going through this real "I don't know who I am" phase.  This has lead to some pretty emotional times and some really interesting thoughts and insights.  I have decided to go see a shrink for some support as I am no longer using my old coping strategy - food!  There are all kinds of things that seem to have come up for me. 

I also know that estrogen is stored in fat cells and thus when we loose weight quickly the estrogen gets released.  So being patient with myself is probably the biggest obstacle right now. 

The other things that has been my saving grace has been my work-outs.  am strenght training 3 times a week and doing a pretty good cardio work out (45-60 min.) 4 -5 times a week.  

Not journaling as much as I use to.... need to get back to that and I also would like to get back to formally tracking my food again with the Dailyplate.com
