"I have only met with my surgeon, Dr. Schram, one time, and I was very impressed with his willingness to spend the time to make sure I was informed. I know many doctors, especially specialists, who seem to barely be able to take the time to learn your name. However, my visit with Dr. Schram felt more like I was having a relaxed conversation with a friend.
I never felt pressured about having the surgery -- he made me feel like this was MY decision, not his. He explained the surgery in detail, yet simply enough for me to follow. He explained many of the risks I had already heard of, and he strongly emphasized the importance of the aftercare program. He even gave a long list of support groups in the area, and even gave me the name of this site for information and support.
Overall, I believe that I have made the right choice in surgeons and trust him 110% to help me start on my weight loss journey."
