Surgeon Testimonial

Bruce Schirmer M.D.
Dr Schirmer was very kind and supportive, seems to be very knowledgable, has been doing surgery over 23 yrs..made me feel comfortable in his capable hands. Answers all questions in a quiet direct manner that is really understandable and is honest about risks associated with surgery.

My Journey
posted on 8/21/07 3:06 pm
My journey begins on Thurs. Aug.16. It's the day I've been waiting for. Four months waiting for my surgeons appt. and it's finally here. Well the doctor says that I'm a perfect candidate for wls.! Like I didn't know that. But the the insurance pro says that all I need is a psych evaluation and I'm through! I can't believe my insurance co. is making it so easy for me. Although I have four illnesses that will be helped by the surgery, I am overjoyed.  Well, it's now Oct. and wouldn't you know it there's a problem with the insurance and now I have to wait till Feb. and see a PCP every month for the insurance to approve me! Very dissappointed, was so looking forward to loosing weight by next summer. Seems like a long way off. Trying not to be depressed.
