Hello Everyone, I was hoping for some insight. I have my initial consultation with Dr Schultz on Dec 3 and was wondering if anyone had an opinion on him. I am having trouble locating much information on Dr Schultz. If anyone has used him and would like to share there personal opinion or experience, I would love to here it. Thank you all for your help, Shawnna Baumholder, Germany

I live in Spang. I am almost done with my Learn Classes then I go to see the Nutritionist in Ramstein soon. Then I have to get a referral from my PCM here. Then I finally get the doc appt. So can anyone give me any info on the process of how this will go? I am nervous. I work full time so I will have to plan accordingly. Anyone wanting to give me imput would be great!:-)

hi i am here in Stuttgart I think one of the main reasons would be Dr Hesse is only 15-20 mins from me instead of 2hrs. tricare kept my appt. with dr weiner on the 10th of Dec But set up an Appt on Nov 28th for me to talk to Dr hesse. so we will see how that goes. Terri

Hello I hope you do not mind me writing you. I have just found out they want to refer me to Dr. Hesse I was going to go to Dr. Weiner but for some reason tricare is wanting to change it. anyway you mentioned that you know this Dr. I really only think my main concern is I do not speak any german at all do you know if this is a problem with either communicating to the Dr or the staff at the hospital? I guess i am worried if i will be understood or not. tahnk you for your time and any information you can give me. Terri

Hello Judy, I live in the Wiesbaden area as well. I'm in the process of getting VSG approval and to have my operation done by Dr. Weiner in Sachsenhausen, hopefully in January. How did your surgery go, and what are TT and BL/BA?
