Dr. Rudolph Weiner Patients

Hi My Name is Jackie. I'm looking for patients of Dr. Rudolf Weiner for advice, insight and knowledge. I have an evaluation appointment scheduled for the 29th of May (2006) and hoped to be as prepared as possible. Come out, come out.... (smile)

Hello Jacqueline, Dr. Weiner is wonderful. He and his staff are very friendly. He will answer all the questions you have. I made myself a list of questions to ask him before I went. I even put questions on there my husband and kids had. Good for you to taking the step to a better life and being prepared. If you have further questions, contact me. Good luck to you. A friend told me that he has my picture posted up there (not sure where). I am the incredible shrinking woman (same man, new woman). Having this surgery was the best thing I could have done!!! Take care and have a great day. Sabine -170

Welcome to the forum and thank you. You know, I think that this forum will be a great place to correspond with other fellow staplers. Keep in touch with the board. My hope is to benefit all. -J

My name is Danielle I had G-bypass july 13,2005. I have currently lost 90+ lbs. I hope to have pics on my profile soon. Good luck to everyone considering it. And congrats to those who have had it. Dr. Weiner is an awesome man. He is very sweet and caring. He truly cares about his patients.

What has been most trying during your journey? Was it the intake of food, water and vitamins? -J

Hello, I can honestly say I have not had one ounce of trouble or any trying times. I know that one thing that has helped me through is my faith in God. I have a great husband (currently deployed), and an awesome group of friends that support me everyday. The only thing I will ask you to watch out for after surgery is the attitudes of some people you thought you knew.........they will change!!! I was friends with alot of people and now they treat me diff. (Not really friends obviously) But anyway the more your confidence grows the more intimidating you seem to people. they don't understand the diff. between confident and ****y. I love myself for the first time in a long time and it shows. I am very happy with all aspects of my life. I can't wait to see life with "eyes wide open". Take care and have faith that it will work out. Never doubt yourself or Dr. Weiners ability to take care of you. And don't doubt Gods ability to love you............ALL the time. With love and encouragement, Danielle 260-168lbs!!

I already know what you mean about the difference between ****y and confidence. In my battle against obesity I have had some ups and some downs. The Ups are when I discovered that same problem. Alls I know, is that I am more careful about the friends I keep, or what I tell to which friends. I used to hang with a group of girls who I will refer to as the ugly ducklings. I was the ugly duckling who finally became a swan. The other ducklings became resentful. They are still my friends, I am just careful as to what I can divulge to them. Make sense? Anyway, great advice. I'll probably have more questions along the way. Thank you!
