Hey Everyone, Dr Deol is NOT a provider for Medicare. Just a small bit of infor, if interested. Martha

Congrats to both of you lucky dogs.... Martha

Hi, Anyone have Dr. Obeid from Hurley, Flint MI? I have a consult with him the last of this month. Please let me know how things went with you. Thanks, Martha

Thanks all who has responded to me about hospitals, to do LB. in MI Martha

Thanks Danie, Do you have a Dr's name? Martha

Hi Boo Boo, What is the name of your Dr.? I might consider giving him/her a call??? Martha

Leenerbups, There are only 2 hospitals in MI that are certified, so far. Once this gets going, and others become certified, we should be able to go anywhere close. Martha

I will patiently await her news. Thanks, Martha.....waiting

OMG, Terry. This is what I am afraid of. I am a diabetic, and I have asked my clinic the same question. They quaranteed me they have a 2% chance of port infection rate. They had NO reported incidents. Hope you are doing better. Good Luck! [ I have not been banded yet] Martha

I know, I just read your thread. Is there no certified hospital in your area? Your doctor or clinic should keep you informed. That's how I found out. The waiting game. It sucks big time. Martha

:help: anyone familiar with Medicare's requirement for this certificate of excellance, that the hospitals have to have now??? I am waiting for Harper Hospital to receive it so I can get banded. Martha

I hate waiting, and waiting. Don't they say good things come to those who wait??????? Good luck and let us know what happens. Martha

:clap2: Hey Guys, I have started losing weight by myself.... 10lbs so far. If they keep my waiting any longer, I won't need to be banded. Martha
