"Sept. 8 -
I called Dr. Harberg's office after hours on Tuesday. They called me back today to get my information. The lady was very nice, even though I was rushed on my end. Hoping to get good news from her. <br>

Oct. 8 -
I met with Dr. Harberg. He is tough, but I loved that he cares enough to try and scare people. Helps weed out the ones who cannot handle it. While I loved him, I am not interested in the VBG, so I am switching doctors. <br>

I will be going with Dr. Naaman. I meet with him on Nov. 23. <br>
******<br>
Nov. 23 - I really liked Dr. Adam Naaman - quiet but very nice. Some people say he has a typical surgeron personality - but I myself liked him and didn't find him to be too aloof. <br>
******<br>
His office staff is a well-oiled machine. Bernie is the best ever. Amanda (who handles insurance info) is a little aggressive, but she is fighting on our behalf - so you want that in her. Everyone there was absolutely terrific. Definitely a first-rate group<br>

<B>POST-OP</B><br>
I absolutely love Dr. Naaman! His approach is very conservative - something you want. The six weeks of liquids may seem unbearable, but it allows you to make your emotional disconnect with food. <br>
If you are serious about being successful with this surgery, don't take shortcuts (surgeons who only have you do two weeks of liquids or who let you eat fairly freely early on). I have sent many, many people to Dr. Naaman and each one has thanked me for doing so.
<BR>
THANK YOU DR. NAAMAN FOR SAVING MY LIFE!

"I enjoyed having my own room. It was spacious and had a clean, friendly feel to it. I had to stay there twice - once with my bypass; the other when my gall bladder was removed. Both times I felt safe and well cared for."
