"It has been one year today since I have had my Lap-Band surgery performed by Dr. Krause. My first impression of Dr. Krause was a positive one - he smiled when he came into the conference room, and that helped relax a very nervous me. He was professional and intelligent in discussing the surgery, and I knew I had found the right doctor for me. His surgical skill is the best, my surgery was without problems. Throughout the past year, Dr. Krause has maintained that first impression - a top notch professional that makes you feel like a person, and not \"just another patient\". He is kind and understanding, and always makes time for any questions. If you're looking for a highly skilled surgeon with an excellent bedside manner, look no further - Dr. Krause is the best of both.rnrnHis office staff has been very kind to me, I've had no problems with them. His secretary Sue always greets me with a smile and makes me feel like she's greeting a friend.rnrnThe aftercare at Beaumont's Weight Loss Center is amazing - I attribute a lot of my success to the wonderful professionals there. Aftercare is so important with bariatric surgery - you'll get the best here. Lap-band patients are said not to lose weight very fast, but after one year, I'm only 19 pounds away from my \"goal weight\". I'm no longer morbidly obese, I no longer have all the health problems I had before this surgery, and I feel fabulous. I'm a new person - Thank-you Dr. Krause and all the staff at Beaumont Hospital for helping me to change my life."
