"After meeting Dr. Schumacher at one of his WLS seminars, I knew that he was the surgeon that I wanted to do my procedure. I met with him after the seminar and he seemed like he had all the time in the world (over an hour after the seminar) to discuss VSG with me and my husband. He also introduced us to his Office Manager, Nancy, who was also more than just helpful - she is great. After meeting them I called Nancy at the office and she assisted me in calling my insurance company who had already approved me for the Lap Band with another surgeon and she asked them to change the procedure and also to change my surgeon to Dr. Schumacher. She got this approved very fast! I will be meeting with him in a few weeks to discuss the surgery and pre/post-op. I can't wait, Dr. Schumacher and his staff are all wonderful! The best thing was that I was talking to my husband on the way to the WLS seminar and I told him I feel that this procedure is God's will for me because even when I thought I had made up my mind about the Lapband I found VSG and kept coming back to it that it would be the best surgery for me and I even kept dreaming about it. As we were leaving Nancy put her hand on my shoulder and told me \"If it is God's will everything will be fine\". How awesome is that?!?!"
"Excellent source of protein, not bad taste. Take 1 oz at a time, take it in a medicine cup 3x/day. I would not recommend Vitacost.....says they ship in 24 hours.....I got them 10 days later.....after 3 calls and cancelling my order."
"Dr. Hagen was very professional yet he made me feel very at ease. I actually met him when I signed in. He was behind the desk and was making small talk and joking with me. It wasn't until I had filled out all the paperwork, signed in and got called back that I even knew he was the doctor I would be seing. That helped me feel so much at ease."
