"I met Dr Bauman on August 27, 2002. He was everything I had heard that he was. He met with another wls hopeful, my husband and myself. He showed us a computer film of the surgery. He went into all the things that can go wrong and I mean he talked about them in detail. He doesn't sugar coat anything. Then he send us into our own rooms and met with us. He went over all the paper work that we had already got for him. I had alreday been to Dr Hall and he had send him his report. Also my PCP had send reports on blood work etc. After going over everything, he told me he though that I would do well with WLS. He talked about how important the aftercare is. We even talked about what type of excerise progam was best for me. Then he turn me over to Robin his office manager. She got everything together for Sharon to send off to the insurance company. They faxed the letter out that same afternoon and mailed a copy also. Everyone in that office has really tried to help me, good people. Will write more after next visit. Will see Dr Spritz and Diane, nutritionist on Sept 11 and 12. Will see Dr Bauman one more time before surgery. Just waiting on insurance.:)"
