"Dr Schwartz gave me the greatest gift when he took out a chunk of my stomach! He performed a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy on me on July 18th, 2011. I knew I could lose weight if I just had HELP and this surgery was the help I needed. I am so grateful for his expertise and the no-nonsense approach he takes. He told me to lose weight before my surgery to prove I was serious and I did. He was firm that this was a TOOL and did not give me an illusions of magic but that if I worked, it would work. I have lost 113 pounds, feel amazing, have a normal BMI and healthy body fat % and I'm running, working out, eating healthy and feeling like a million bucks!! Everything went smoothly - his team is amazing, so professional, KIND, and most of all clear about the entire process from the beginning and ongoing. I had fast healing, minimal scarring, just the smoothest experience I could have imagined. I love going in for my yearly checkup and seeing everyone. My only regret - I didn't do it sooner!"
