Surgeon TestimonialRalph 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. Latest Surgery Support Comments

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!
