"Dr. Woodman is a no-nonsense kind of surgeon. You need to do everything (and I do mean EVERYTHING) he says. He is an over perfectionist (if there is such a thing). However, I think he really cares about the success of his patients but you have to do your part. You receive so much education during the office visits. By the time surgery rolls around, you are well educated. Again, before you go under anesthesia, he emphasizes the major points again (LapBand is only a tool, follow the diet plans and instructions in the book you're given in the office, etc.). He definitely addresses the risks of surgery and you know exactly what might happen.rnrnHe wants you up and moving as soon after surgery as possible. Just do a little movement every day until you can exercise an hour a day.rnrnHis bedside manner is horrible; he doesn't do \"small talk\". He is strictly business but he is an excellent surgeon and his results speak for themselves."
