I'm in cleveland! Having my surgery at the clinic in early December. Would love to hear everyone's experience with the clinic staff and drs!! My surgeon is Schauer.

Hi kpenney727! I loved i and not because I'm an employee :)

The staff was great. I didn't experience any complications other than a gas attack. My surgery was on a Monday and that Friday evening prior to I came down with an awful cough. I was on my pre-op diet and didn't bother to ask if I could take anything for the cough. After the procedure the hardest part for me was the pain associated with my incisions and me coughing. Even though they were prescribed I didn't go home on pain meds. I didn't feel as though I needed them.

Dr. Schauer and his resident, Dr. Aminian were great and took great care of me. Dr. Schauer's nurse, Michael, is extremely helpful and full of knowledge. The team as a whole were wonderful IMO, from beginning to end.

Thanks so much for replying!!! I am excited and have not had any complaints so far!! Everyone has been great and so helpful and always right there when I need anything!!

I had my surgery with Dr. George Kerlakian at the Good Samaritan Hospital as well. I highly recommend him. I am also available as a mentor through the process. I know it can be really tough, but I promise it will be the best thing you ever do for yourself.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
