That's great that your daughters liked him. That's always a good sign. I think he was the one who talked at my seminar too. It's been so long...I kind of forgotten. I'm sure his report card is just fine.
I've only looked into Dr. Krause. My friend who works at Beaumont said he was GREAT so I took that as a good sign. He's not as old as Dr. C but I don't think that matters. They are all in the same practice so I think that's a good sign too!
The next Club Bariatrix is August 15th...they go from 6-7. With the first half of the meeting being support and the second half being a speaker. Facilitator is Jackie Odom....she's great. I go to her as my Psychologist. But there is also a "Lifestyle Change Lecture Series" they have. Next one is Aug. 1st and it goes from 6-7 also. So you see...there is always something going on at the BWCC. Ha!
I'm going there tonight to sit in a regular diet support group from 5:30 to 6:30. It's their regular diet plan (shakes, meal, etc) and to me "weight loss is weight loss" so I'm continuing to go to them to stay on track while I await my surgery. To tow the line....hahahahaha! S
The seminar went good. My 2 oldest daughters came with me for moral support, plus they wanted to learn more about the procedure. My oldest daughter is pre-med in college, so this is way up her alley anyway. Dr. Chengelis (the other bariatric surgeon) answered a lot of questions for people afterwards. My daughter really liked him and wants him to be my surgeon. I'll have to check his "report card" and look into him. Dr. Chengelis has been practicing 6 years longer than Dr. Krause. Have you met with him at all or just Dr. Krause? I still would like to meet Dr. Krause also I think.
I scheduled my Medical Evaluation for Aug. 9th, my nutirician assessment and exercise consult on August 11th and my psy evaluation on Aug. 18th. I guess I will get a script for the stress test at my medical evaluation and possibly the sleep study. Not quite sure what they do or how they do the sleep study, but I guess I'll find out.
Yes, the seminar and all the appointments are at the Beaumont Weight Control Center....saying "hey" would be awesome! Just let me know! 
They made it sound to me that the Club Baratrix was not an option and that I have to pay the $99 at my medical evalaution. Which is okay, because I would probably do it anyway. It sounds like a pretty good deal.

Did you go to the Beaumont Weight Control Center for your seminar? I'm over around once a week to weigh in, go to support, etc. If you're ever going to be out that way let me know and we can say "hey!"
Don't forget about Club Bariatrix....for $99 (a one time fee) you get all the Nutritionist, Exercise Therapist and support groups for FREE!

this is a little late replying because I haven't been on here in a long time but just saw your post and wanted to say HI!!
You retired in May and are just starting a new job? Doesn't sound like retirement to me - LOL! Hope you are doing something fun and something you really enjoy.
I miss talking to all the people on here!
Take care,
