"I originally saw him at the orientation and really liked him there. At my consultation he looked through my chart, verifying some things and then examined my abdominal area.
He went through the process of WLS, drawing a diagram of the operation on my chart, then outlined the risks and hazards of the operation on the same page along with some reminders of what I can and cannot do post-op. He was very careful to make sure I understood all aspects of the process.
I am now required to lose 30 more pounds and am to see him in 2 months to evaluate whether I am ready for surgery. I am now to substitute a protein shake for 2 meals now, and to begin daily vitamins. I am also to build up to 40 minutes of walking on a treadmill at a 6 degree angle by that time.
If I am successful, I will be scheduled as soon as possible for surgery at that time.
I found him to be extremely caring and very willing to work with me, but yet inflexible as regarding my personal preparations for surgery, i.e., the weight loss, vitamins and exercise."
