Surgeon Testimonial

Ralph Crum, M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Crum was one of curiousity. He is from way up north and I thought he seems a bit stand offish and in a big hurry.

But I found that was because he was giving a presentation on wls and was all facts and figures.

When I met him at my first appointment, he was so personable and relaxed and really listened to what I was saying. I really got the feeling he was interested in me and my view of wls and my expectations. He argued with me regarding the DS surgery, I think to make sure I had done my homework. The RNY is his speciality. But I insisted the DS was the right surgery for me. And after asking me several questions, he agreed to perform the DS surgery.

Another thing he does is he makes his support group meetings manditory because he want you to succeed.

He is doing a reversal of my VBG and giving me a DS on 11/01/06. I can't wait.

    Congratulations on taking this huge step in your journey and becoming an official member of the "fellowship of the switch." We hope that your surgery and recovery are swift, smooth, and uneventful. It is an interesting experience and certainly not "the easy way out" of being unhealthy and obese but each day will get a little better and be further proof that you dared to dream and had the courage to act. Good luck and God bless!
