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!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
