"I first met Dr. Snyder at one of his seminars on WLS. I was immediately put at ease about my condition and the possibility of regaining my health through surgery. I was most impressed by his knowledge of the disease of obesity and his compassion for overweight people. He did not try to \"sell\" the surgery to anyone, he simply was there to educate. His credentials were impressive as was the fact that his clinic is recognized as a Center of Excellence. My pre-op work up, my surgery (LapBand) and my follow up care has been incredible. Following surgery I had no complications and my health continues to improve everyday. I have referred two of my friends to Dr.Snyder (both are set up for WLS with him) and will continue to do so. Not only is Dr. Snyder caring and compassionate, he has surrounded himself with a first rate team to support his patients. The best thing is after surgery Dr.Snyder has a complete support system in place. There are support groups, online support groups, nutririon classes and Dr. Snyder as well as every person on his team gives you their personal pager numbers and email addresses so you can contact them directly if you need them. The biggest challenge I've had is the fact that I live six hours (one way) from Denver so it gets expensive to go down there for my fills and post-op appointments. "
