Schumacher MD FACS. I wont lie I was VERY nervous about seeing him today. But his office was very nice. They made me feel as though I have known them for years. They also have a large board with before and after pictures that you can see. Which was really nice. I liked that part alot!rnrnWhen I 1st walked in there I was looking at his nurses and most of them weighed maybe 120 all of them very pretty (nothing against skinny people don't take offence) so I was a lil taken back and I was worried as to what they was thinking? Would they understand the things I go through? But they was the nicest people I have ever met. All of his staff was great A+rnrn<center><ahref=\"\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s124/KendrasLayouts/2MYcrapONLY/Dr.Schumacher3.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"></a></center>rnrnI got to talk to Dr. Schumacher PA 1st Jerrod He was very nice he sat me down and we talked about things he spent about one hour with me (Dr. Schumacher was called out due to an emergency) But his PA stayed with me until Dr. Schumacher got back and as soon as he got there he came in and said how sorry he was that I had to wait. He spent about another hour with me and went over everything with me also he answered all my questions and told me that if I had any question to call him at any point and he would be glad to sit down with again and talk about it. I really liked him he was straight forward about things. He told you like it was but in a very nice way he didn't make me feel bad, he didn't make me feel ashamed of being over weight. He asked a lot of questions and I liked that most he seemed to be interested in me. He didn't look at me like I was just a pile of money that he was gonna get. I went in with my mind set knowing that I was gonna get the lap band. I think that health risk wise its a better choice. Dr. Schumacher stated that he does not think that the lap band will give me the out come I am looking for he is wanting me to have the Gastric Bypass Sleeve done. He gave me a lot of information about it.rnrn<center><ahref=\"\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s124/KendrasLayouts/2MYcrapONLY/Dr.Schumacher4.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"></a></center>rnrnrnONE BIG PLUS TO DR. SCHUMACHER is that he is going all over the states teaching other doctors about this surgery and is writing a medical book about it through the medical board. They have asked him to. As of right now there is about 20 doctors WORLD WIDE that is doing this operation. So this makes me feel more comfortable with him doing this kind of operation since he has all this knowledge.rnrn<center><ahref=\"\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s124/KendrasLayouts/2MYcrapONLY/doc.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"></a></center>rnrnAbout his after care. He stated that if I have this operation. He will see me 1 week after the surgery (but he will see me the 2 days I'm in the hospital so really its 5 days). Then after that he will see me 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year for follow up care. He stated that if I feel like I need to be seen before then, Then all I need to do is call his office and they can get me in. The hospital that he does the surgery in is right next door to his office so he can be there in a moments notice.rnrn<ahref=\"\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s124/KendrasLayouts/2MYcrapONLY/DreamTeam2.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"></a>rnrn<ahref=\"\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s124/KendrasLayouts/2MYcrapONLY/AnnHunt-1.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"></a>rnrn<ahref=\"\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s124/KendrasLayouts/2MYcrapONLY/HeatherVanPelt-1.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"></a>rnrn<ahref=\"\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s124/KendrasLayouts/2MYcrapONLY/JohnWade-1.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"></a>rnrn<center><ahref=\"\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s124/KendrasLayouts/2MYcrapONLY/GastricBypass.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"></a></center>"
