I LOVED Dr. Chute!  Don't cross him off your list.  He is great!

He is conservative in his approach, and I probably flouted some of his rules, but I would much rather have a conservative surgeon than one who takes risks.

I spent one night in the hospital, and the day after I got home I felt good enough to go out and get a pedicure!  I really felt like he cared about me, both at surgery time and in follow ups.  He is a more reserved person, but he certainly answered any questions I asked him very thoroughly.  I always get my questions answered by the NUT and others at the office, so that would apply to Dr. Drew as well. 

I can't say that I was overwhelmingly thrilled with Abbott, but I was only there one night.  It's the hospital--nobody is comfortable at a hospital, LOL.  The care was good, I just hate hospitals in general.

Anyway, I healed up perfectly, and you almost can't see any of my incisions anymore.  I had 8 incisions, because he took my gall bladder out, too, but I don't even remember where some of them were.  And I've lost 160 lbs, which is the most important part!!

Good luck with your decision.

 I had Dr Schwartz and think very highly of him, he had the surgery himself.  He is very personable and willing to answer ?'s and no rushing.  I felt no pain after surgery, felt like no difficulty drinking or eating.  I highly recommend Dr Schwartz

Thank you all. I heard some of you meet for coffee on Sat ams. Where/when are you meeting Sat 2/18/12?
