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

Haven't updated in a while ... and its been 8 months since my surgery ... I can't believe that last year this time I was submitting OHIP forms! 

Its been a bumpy ride and over all I am very pleased with my progress.  I have lost 104 bls since surgery and 125 lbs from my heaviest.   My vitamin B12 and D are a bit low so will need to up the vitamins. 

Physically I feel pretty good most days.  A few aches and pains which I think are a tributed to the rapid weight loss and the bodies need to find balance or equilibrium.  They never last long. 

Still struggle some days in getting all my water in and sometimes in taking all my vitamins but I am definately getting better. 

I work out regularly and recently found out that i have actually increased my muscle mass from regular strength trainining which means my weight loss has been primarily fat and water ...... hurray.  Last time I lost weight I lost muscle mass even though I was working out .... so I increased my strength trianing this time around.

My moods have been getting better but I went through a real difficult patch between month 4 to 6.  Still strugglle from time to time.  All beware that estrogene is stored in fat cells so when you rapidly loss fat ..... you get real powerful estrogen surges.

Also my bariatric specialist states that the newest research shows a high correlation of clinical depression after bariatric surgery.  Now I know this to be true with other types of surgery like heart, etc.

Other than that things are plugging around ... don't post as much or lurk the boards as much ..... have been too busy at times and find it difficult to catch up.  Miss the support but have also found that my circle of friends have been there for me outside of the OH Board.  I am appreciative of this thats for sure.
