Surgeon Testimonial

Kevin Krause, M.D.
Dr Krause is so awesome and patient. He makes sure all your questions are answered and that you are very comfortable. I love his staff at the office too, also very helpful and nice. Last, but not least, the before and aftercare is the best. On going support and information. Thank you for my life back!

I went to see my Dr at Beaumont Weight Control and she signed off on all my stuff needed for surgery.  The six months did go by so much quicker than I expected!  She told me I should receive my letter within the next 7 business days, and they will be calling me to make my appointment with Dr Krause!!!

I had my psych eval today.  She told me that I was a good candidate right then and there at the end of my visit!  I will be back to see my pcp on the 24th, I am pretty sure I have everything I need, so hopefully on to the surgeon!!!!

My Story

I am 41 years old.  I was small all the way thru high school and after my first child.  I have three sisters, three of us which stayed small into our early twenties and then blew up.  In 1997 I lost 80 pounds and kept it off for two years and then gained it all back.  I find myself at 41 with grown children and getting divorced after 24 years.

This is a big year for me, and I am going to make the best of it!  I am starting a new life, and my health is number one!  And I am not fooling anyone, I want to lose this weight to look good!
