Well everybody thanks for replying. I am just beginning the research stages of this procedure, getting a physical from my family doc., etc....Know one lady from town who had this done and she went to Port Huron. She has had no problems. I need to lose approx. 85 lbs and have MS. Have not had an relapse in 3 years, so I am hoping that my MS is not something that will disqualify me. Hoping they will see my need to lose weight since trying to exercise with all this extra weight just tires me out quicker. Would love to hear from anyone with pros and cons.....especially those of you that went to TC.
