"I have a date for surgery, and I haven't talked with Dr Scott, on day of consult he was called to emergency surgery, consult with intern who works with him. This is a new program at UM, went very well, very informative and learned alot. After care is HIGHLY stressed, very important, asked to sign a contract to make and keep after care appointments, take supplements, etc. Very structured program care. Can not stress enough the importance of you and your part of your after care, YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR PART!!! During the class, about 12 of us, we talked to program coordinator, a wls patient of Dr Scott (RN of 13yrs.), nutritionist, excercise guru,LOL-talked about the proper kinds of excercise and the proper way to perform them, psych Dr.(she also wls patient of Dr Scott), informed us of mental changes, challenges, and preventive measures to ensure success. All asked ?, and answered in a very professional manner, not intimidating at all, professional but very open and explained in detail all answers. At end of session, Dr De la Torre (sp) came in and explained all possible complications, their patient stistics, after care, etc. Very competent surgeons, I KNOW I am in the VERY BEST OF HANDS going into this surgery, no fear!!! This is in my own opinion, and will update after surgery on 2/28."
