DR. BAUMAN WAS VERY HELPFUL IN ANSWERING ALL MY QUESTIONS AND EXPLAINING IN DETAIL WHAT THE PROCEDURE THAT HE DOES ENTAILS. HE WAS VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD AND KIND.
I haven't met with him yet, but my first consultation is on April 5th. I am so excited that I found a surgeon in my local area that performs the mini-gastric bypass via laproscopy. I made an appoint with Dr. Rhonda Wachsmuth of Charlotte, but she perform the open procedure. So I cancelled that appointment yesterday.
I will write again once I meet Dr. Bauman to let you all know what I thought of him.

I met with Dr. Bauman today. He is very personable and attentive. He explained things very clearly. I never felt rushed; he was there to talk to me. He exlained how his procedure has changed, due to recent controversy over the mini-gastric by-pass. The procedure is a combination of the MGB and the Roux-en-Y, performed laproscopically. I have an appointment with the endocrinologist and the psychologist, both on May 15. If every thing goes well, I am looking at a surgery date of late May early June. I can't wait!
Dr. Bauman's office staff was very friendly and considerate. Nancy helped by arranging the office visits with the endocrinologist and psychologist. Dr. Bauman is clear that you must have a primary physcian that is willing to follow your care. He also requires follow up visits with him 1wk, 1mth, 3mths, 6mths, and 1 year after the surgery. That made me feel good to know that he does intend to follow my progress.
I am very pleased with my choice for Surgeons. He was very attentive and answered all of my questions prior to surgery. Post Surgery he has monitered my progress and has excellent bedside manner.
For me it was a long hard decison to make to decide to have wls. His staff was very helpful and always made me feel welcome.
I have been in the Weight Managment Program at Northeast Medical Center for since May of 1999. I plan to continue that program indefinately. I have found that the support that I get from seeing Diane and Dr. Spitz is a valuable part of my life change.
