Dr. Schram & Zeeland Hospital



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to say that I think Dr. Schram is an amazing surgeon and if you are considering the sleeve and you live on the west side of Michigan consider him. He is prompt, responsive, kind and professional. He prayed with me before surgery and followed up with me twice a day each day I was in the hospital. He definitely supported me going home when I felt ready which is a nice change from other surgeries I've had where it seemed they couldn't get you out fast enough. Himself and the PA both reassured me that if I need anything any hour of the day just to give them a call. The hospital itself was nice, newer in construction with a great complement of staff. The woman who registered me had gotten the sleeve two years ago and couldn't be happier. She even shared her before and after pics. That was just the type of person I wanted to meet while registering for this major surgery. Nurses were so kind calm and patient even though I had terrible nausea and pain they consistently tried to find different ways to help me.

Please note that I am not related to any of these individuals. I'm a teacher that lives about an hour and a half away and I just feel so grateful that I had such a great experience.

I also had dr. Schram do my surgery on April 15. I'm just over 3 months out. He is an amazing dr!! His whole staff is great!! My husband works for spectrum and has done some work with dr. Schram. Which is how I got hooked up with him when I decided to pursue surgery. I'm so happy I did it, so happy I choose him and so happy w my weight loss. The hospital was great too. I live only 35 min away. I recommend him to everyone!! He is current And stays on top of current issues in weightloss surgery. I just love him!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
