"My first impression of Dr. Hausmann was, gee, he's cute! and then he started talking. He asked alot of questions, mostly questions related to my medical history which he was going over as he was talking to me, this impressed me. Most of the doctors I've seen in the past have not even looked at my medical history, let alone ask any questions about it. After that, he asked me which type of surgery I was interested in. RNY, laproscopic, is what I am interested in having. At this point he got a large flip folder and and showed me and explained everything involved in the surgery itself. When he asked me if I had any questions, I looked over my list and discovered he has answered all of them during our talk. I had a few new ones about the malabsorbtion, but he answered thoes very readily. Very impressive man, very well versed and easy to talk to. He also told me that he wanted to see my husband at my next appointment, since he chose not to come to this one, and explained that his support would be very important to my success. MINI has its own support group that meets once a month, and he had Amy, his staff assistant, explain all about that to me as well as the aftercare and pre-care. I have since called Amy a few times and she is always ready to take the time to talk to me and answer any questions that I have. This is a good physician and staff to deal with. Will tell you more as I learn it.rnrn4/8/06 - Went to a New U Meeting last night, that is the support group run by MINI. My Hub went with me. I am so glad we went. Dr. Hausmann was there, explaining the different procedures and my husband learned alot. He finally gets it. Thanks to MINI, Dr. Hausmann and the New U, my husband now understands what I have been talking about."
