I had my original consultation with Dr. Kam (while he was in Ypsi). However, since I chose the lap-band, I ended up changing over to Dr. Schram. Dr. Schram has more experience and specializes in the band. Dr. Kam's biggest success and specialty is the bypass. I like them both. Both are wonderful physicians and both are very knowledgeable in their craft. However, since I had the band, Dr. Kam wasn't gonna be my choice. ONe of my close friends is a nurse who works side by side with both and Dr. Schram simply has a higher (nearly flawless) success rate with the band since he teaches it around the world.
