Surgeon Testimonial

Michael A. Schweitzer M.D.
I met with Dr S and I have nothing but good things to say about the doctor and his staff. They were all very nice. Dr, S struck me as being the most experienced in his field, and I trust him fully. His secretary Debbie is wonderful to deal with, and I am looking forward to the day when I am free of this weight.

I had a very small problem and I commend my doctor and his staff for prompt attention and the care they gave to me. I am so glad I selected Dr Schweitzer for my doc, I think he is the greatest.

You have proceeded to go and can collect all of the benefits. In this case losing is winning. I would hate to read this out loud. It is confusing to write. But after surgery when you can read, and understand it you will know you don't need pain killers any more. Keep us posted, I am about a week behind you.

Wouldn't you know it - I had to go to the dentist and have a wisdom tooth pulled. WOW, what pain. If I can stand my dental pain, the WLS should be a walk in the park! I'm not allowed to have any asprin or motrin, so Tylenol is my drug of choice. The ice bag is helping too. I'm trying to keep busy, one more week!!
