Replacement for Dr. Saber
LOL... I thought he just didn't renew all of that media advertising he was doing!

Current Weight = 168# / 26.4 bmi : fluctuates 5# either way @ 5'7" / more than 90% EWL
Normal BMI (24.9) = 159#: would have to compromise my muscle mass to get here without plastics, so this is not a goal.

It's my knowledge that Dr. Verseman has absorbed Dr. Saber's patient load. His office (Dr. V) is swamped right now!!! They are so busy that initial consultations are now being scheduled for June & July. Dr. Verseman is definitely worth the wait! He, as well as his entire office, is wonderful!!!

I can't understand why anyone would wait that long for a consultation, let alone a surgery date... and than I would be concerned that I wouldn't be seen as quickly as needed should something go wrong post-op.
Grand Rapids is an hour north of Kzoo. Two great surgeons (Kemmeter & Foote) that perform ALL of the major WLS, and the other two do everything but the DS.... all lap.

Had I not had to get clearances from a pulmonologist due to very mild sleep apnea, I would have had my surgery scheduled for mid-late March...6 to 8 weeks after the consult. Instead, I had to wait until April 6...9 and a half weeks.
Once your in, things happen quickly and Dr. Verseman hasn't seemed at all rushed at any of our appointments.

At the seminar, we were told that to get a consult with Dr. Verseman was up in the 2-3 month range then about 2 months after that, surgery could be scheduled. When someone asked why so long, we were told it was because "another" surgeon left the area so Dr. Verseman was busy seeing two offices worth of people.
