Surgeon Testimonial

Philip R. Schauer MD
I was a little taken back at the first meeting with Dr. Schauer. I had my mind set on Lap Band and after he looked over my chart and records he suggested RNY. I was not prepared to discuss this procedure and all the questions I had were for Lap Band. I think he knew I was little taken back at his suggestion. I was given a week to think about it and decide what I wanted to do. I spoke with a good friend on OH and was told to just stand my ground and go with my first choice. I did go with my first choice, the lap Band. The second meeting I had with Dr. Schauer was to discuss the procedure, the risk and outcome. I have found Dr. Schauer to be a very confident and excellent surgeon. I feel that the post op and follow up care is very well constructed and geared towards helping the patient reach all their weight loss goals. I would highly recommend Dr. Schauer to anyone that is looking into any weight loss procedure.

Well, August is moving along at a fast pace.  I find it hard how fast the summer is going.  I will have to admit that this has been the best summer I can remember.  I think I call it my summer of new beginnings.  The new bike rides, new summer clothes, amusement rides...just a whole new beginning.

I did go to the clinic on Tuesday the 11th.  I had a 1/2cc removed from the band.  I have my adjustments done under fluro and the contrast was almost not going from pouch to stomach.  The surgeon said it was too tight and took the 1/2 cc out.  I will have to admit it does feel better.  I have gone 6 weeks with the band being too tight as he called it.  I was throwing up and sliming more than normal.  I know this will sound stupid, but I sort of got used to it..  I go back the 22nd of September for another follow up.  I did drop 6 more pounds during the last six weeks.
