3/1/2006: Appointment with Dr. Snyder. Very nice man: passionate about his work and mission. Confirming what I learned in the seminar, there would be lots of pre-op testing to undergo: pulmonary, cardio, psych, etc. I'm leaning more towards Lap Band surgery even though friends that have had surgery have all had the bypass.
3/22/2006: Had to get an EGD because of GERD symptoms. Found out I've got a hiatal hernia and erosive esophagitis. Treatment is Nexium. Fun. Dr. Linkow also took tissu…... Click here to read more

2005 07/11/2005—At this point I’m not sure if my letter has been submitted to insurance or not. If it hasn’t, I’m sure it will be soon. I’m not the most patient person in the world. :) I’ve done all my pre work that I think I need to get done. I’m sure Dolly will call or email me and let me know if there is anything else that I need to do. There are so many things that I want out of life. I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful daughters. I just want to be the…...Click here to read more
Comments About Dr. Michael A. Snyder:
Love Dr. Snyder. He knows his shit—excuse the language, but he’s just damn good at what he does. I did months and months of surgeon research and no one could come close to Dr. Snyder.

I am a 32 year old mother of a wonderful 19 month old boy. I am blessed to have a husband who lets me work part-time (2 days a week) and stay home with our son the rest of the time. Part-time, I work as a 911 dispatcher. I have been heavy my entire life (in fact, my “goal” weight is 20 lbs. less than how much I weighed when I graduated from high school). I have done every diet imaginable, worked out regularly, and obviously, none of it has ever been permament. As my son gets older, I have…... Click here to read more
Comments About Dr. Michael A. Snyder:
Dr. Snyder is a wonderful man and doctor. He came highly reccommended by my OB-GYN who said a nurse friend of hers had the surgery through him, and she loved him. I knew when I went to his seminar that he was the right doctor for me. His positive attitude and energy is amazing, and he really seems to care about what he does and has a genuine love for his job. I also was very impressed with how willing he was to sit and talk with me and answer any questions I have – he never appeared to be in a big rush, which is very important to me. The office staff is just as great as Dr. Snyder. His entire clinic is very organized, and easy to get along with. Everyone you talk to you is more than willing to help you and answer any questions you may have. My surgery is scheduled for Aug. 14, 2006. I will update with how they were in the hospital and aftercare later.

Comments About Dr. Michael A. Snyder:
Dr. Snyder is terrific! I have felt very comfortable with him from the start. Meeting some of his patients and talking to them about their experiences has helped as well. He is efficient, knowledgeable, understanding, caring, and has a great sense of humor. He has a great aftercare program. He is surgically proficient and has a warm bedside manner. I have met his PA Pete, and Bariatric Nurse Kim and am very impressed with them both. I have felt well cared for by his medical staff. My only isssue is with responsiveness of the office staff. I highly recommend Dr. Snyder!

04-16-06 My name is Cindy and I am 44 years old. I have been morbidly obese for almost 10 years and just plain obese since I was 20. I was a chunky kid, but slimmed down through puberty and until I married at age 18 I had been able to keep my weight under control at around 130-140. Birth control pills, and the comfort of being married let me get my guard down and the pounds began to creep up and they have never stopped coming! I am married to a great guy, Pat, who has never said a bad…... Click here to read more
Comments About Dr. Michael A. Snyder:
I really liked Dr. Snyder from the first time I met him at a seminar in 2002. I found him very honest and forthcoming about what WLS is all about. I had to delay my surgery for 4 years due to cancer but I knew if and when I did get this done it would be by Dr. Snyder. He is SO ENERGETIC and enthusiastic about helping his patients, he is very busy but he still comes across as caring and concerned. He lets you know right up front this risks and the benefits and lets you decide for yourself if this is for you. If you have any issues at all both pre and post op he and his staff are very quick to respond to you. His office staff is efficient & quick. I received approval after completing all my required exams and tests within a week, I attribute that to Dolly his insurance specialist. I feel the aftercare program is one of the best available. I have other friends who have had WLS with different Dr’s. and there is NO aftercare past the surgery except standard office visits. Dr. Snyd…... Click here to read more
