"Dr Schumacher is a great guy and a very good surgeon. He or his staff always had time to answer questions and he and his PA's were there everyday after surgery to check on my progress. After surgery care and visits so far have been great and I would highly reccomend him and his staff for this procedure. They are a \"Center of Excellence\" for this surgery. Also he is aggressive in that he only requires 24 hour pro-op prep diet in most cases and is aggressive in moving patients throught the food stages as appropriate."
