"I had surgery January 3, 2003. I had the best surgeon, Dr. Bauman. I had surgery around 7 am, was in my room by noon and up walking by 2:30 that afternoon. Dr. Bauman and his staff are very caring and concerned people. They seem to understand the battle the overweight people face. I was very informed when I went for my first consultation. He provide even more information to me. Follow up was wonderful. I returned twice to his office the first 2 weeks about concerns I had. Each time he saw me and even ordered test to make sure everything was okay. I love the support group. The only improvement I would make is to have support person assigned to each new patient. Someone who can give "been there done that" advice. I would love to have someone in my area to walk with and discuss WLS with. "
