Surgeon Testimonial

Michael L. Schwartz, M.D.
Right off the bat, I liked Dr. Schwartz. I trusted him, because he and his partner came so highly recommended. He spoke at my initial seminar and disclosed that he had a gastric bypass several years ago himself! In my initial surgical consultation he answered many questions and told me what I needed to complete in order to have the surgery. He was thorough and very helpful and patient with all my questions. rn Dr. Schwartz is very careful to have the best surgery possible. He prides himself on the success rate of WLS at Minneapolis Bariatric Clinic. He has every intention of keeping it a Center of Excellence for WLS. I think he is both a consummate professional and technically, and excellent surgeon. He is very personable, as well. Have both the surgical competence and the likable bedside manner are a rare combination. The program at the clinic is thorough as well, and I will be followed there for years to come.

Four Months Out This Week!
posted on 1/27/10 8:05 am

I'm feeling so good with the 75 pounds I'm down at this point. I had my 3 month check up last week, since they couldn't schedule me before that, and everything is going well. At this point, some clothes had to go - falling off me - and I'm trying to get by with smaller sizes I had in the closet. But it's getting to the point, I have to purchase some new things!

I'm feeling good and a bit stronger and more energetic each day. I'm so glad this is all working out so well. Now to get Michael going on his! He is scheduled for Feb. 24 and starts his liquid diet in two weeks. It will really help me stick to basics when he isn't eating. Onward!
