Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Buffalo General Hospital / Alan Posner, M.D., F.A.C.S. The Kaleida Health Comprehensive Weight Loss Program at Buffalo General Hosptial (Buffalo, NY) http://www.kaleidahealth.org/weightloss/ So far so good... I like his style, his straight-forwardness, no pussy-footing around... tells the risks out right, and you follow his program or you leave. I really like the fact that he listened to my questions and answered them in a way I understood without talking down to me; and he asked me if I had any more questions for him... WOW! Dr Posner in Buffalo at Buffalo General Hospital is about the best thing that has ever happened to me! Had my WLS on Tuesday May 8th and was released on Thursday......all the staff who looked after me were the best!!!!! And I mean everyone, from the housekeeping lady who came in to empty the garbage pail to the Drs...eveyone asked me if I was ok, did I need anything, would I like to see a nurse...etc etc. I'm impressed. Very impressed with the "perfect" WLS surgery I had in Dr Posner's hands to the followup he did during rounds to the greatest nursing team ever! Oh, and Canucks. If you're doing your "due diligence" and searching for a Dr for the WLS, then please do consider Dr Posner. OHIP works with them, and they're the ones I chose and I'm so ever happy that I did! Thanks once again Dr Posner! Your skilll has given me back my life! WooHoo... I'm on my way!

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Hello! I have not heard anything negative about this team... Since you are well on your way in the program you pretty much know it all! Dr Posner saw me Dec 5 2006, I joined their program then – started the South Beach Diet (their requirement)… you see the surgeon, the dietician, nurse practitioner… all very nice… I was given a list of tests including blood work, pulmonary function test, thrombosis Doppler, ECG, x-rays, psych consult, endoscopy that I had done, had to lose weight… saw them in January, March, April – got date for May 8th… post-op you return at 10 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year… I wish you the best of luck - and don't worry, everyone has the "what if" questions and everything else you're gonna have pop in your head - make peace with the fact that you are not just sitting idly by letting death sneak up on you! You are fighting it! You rock!!! Here's to a successful surgery with no complications!
