I'm having mine at providence in southfield also...was yours done robotic and who was your surgeon

I was wondering the same thing...

Have you heard anything.....my coworkers have used st. John providence a lot

O wow what a coincidence...a few of my co-workers went through him and their doing amazing..Dr sabir actually moved my surgery to October 9th!!

I'm live in Michigan and I'm using Dr sabir...

My doctor just called me and wanted to know if I wanted to have me sleeve done robotic...I have no idea if that's safe I've never heard of it, I told him I'll get back to him...someone please help!

That's great to hear, happy everything went well...how has your weight loss been going?

Congratulations on your surgery date....my surgery is also scheduled for October 16!!!

My surgery is scheduled for October 16th but yesterday he asked me if I was ok to possibly moving it to October 2nd...either day is fine with me cause I'm just so excited about the opportunity....best wishes for your surgery I'm sure everything will be just fine, my doctor actually told me the same thing about the recovery being faster.

I have BCBS of Michigan and my copay is only $250 for the year which has been met through x-rays and blood test that my family physician gave me.

I had my nutrition class today and I was able to talk to the doctor that's performing my surgery, he said he would be using the Di Vinci machine. He said that there would still Be a team of doctors but he would be controlling the machine himself through a computer, he also said the machine is more precise because it can twist and turn its arms more ways than a human arm and it's more controlled and in the event that The doctors should have to take over they can just lift the Di Vinci up and continue to use the same opening the machine was using. The machine also double staples so you have a lower risk of leaks. Thanks everyone for your input it was very helpful, I feel more at ease now with having a robotic assisted surgery..

I've been going through this weight loss journey for years, and after seeing a few of my co-workers and the success they've had with it I decided to research it....boy oh boy did I get excited!! Now after 6 months of supervised dietitian visits and psychologist visits and a bunch of doctors visits I finally have my surgery date. I had to wait a month because I was taking birth control pills and they wanted me to stop taking them a month before surgery...no problem with me. I get my call today and my surgery is scheduled for October 16th, I am so excited and very ready to start being a happier healthier me!!!

October 16th and I'm so excited!!!

Thanks so much...I'm counting down the days
