Hi. I'm Allison. I am new to this site so forgive for me not knowing where to start. Well, here I go. I am a patient of Dr. Deol in Michigan. I am scheduled for surgery in a few days. I did about 2 years worth of research on lap band, not only in Michigan, but elsewhere in the country. I came to the conclusion that Dr. Deol was one of the most, if not THE most, qualified surgeon in this area, and probably in the country. When i met her for the first time about 6 months ago, i fell in love with her. She is truely honest, EXTREMELY EXREMELY thorough and doesn't take chances. I cannot emphasize how thorough she is. She is very kind and informative. She answered all my questions and then some. I know, from a few friends that i have in her hospital that she is very selective and does not operate on patients who will not commit to the process. But that explains why her patients are very successful in their weight loss venture. in any event, i am truely pleased and look forward to my surgery. I will keep everyone updated. thanks again.

Hi Dr. Deol's Girls. Sorry for the late reply. I had changed computers and had forgotten my password. So, I am back. The surgery went "PERFECT." Dr. Deol was fantastic. Made me feel so so so very comfortable. She is so compassionate, you can tell she truely cares. Got a Teddy Bear from her after the surgery too. So sweet. The surgery itself was very smooth. They had to use a bigger band on me called the vanguard. i am doing well. I have lost a few pounds already. Dr. Deol emphasises that i have to be dedicated to her program, which i think i am. I have already quit smoking (she wouldn't do the surgery unless I did) which in itself is a blessing. I couldn't be happier. I feel like, for the first time in my life, I have control over something. Thanks for everybody's support. I will continue posting. BTW, how do you post the ticker?

Devana: Hi. thanks for the reply and your support. This site is awsome. I guess they call Dr. Deol's patient's "Dr. Deol's Girls." So i guess I am also a member of her fanclub now. I am going into this with the outmost confidence in Dr. Deol. Thanks God and Thank God for Dr. Deol. Wish me luck girls.

ha ha. it seems that we are routing for our Dr.s'. So No. 1 Lap band Surgeon is Michigan in my opinoin is Dr.Deol. This is actually quite objective based on her experience as one of the first involved even in the FDA trials.

Try Dr Deol's seminar. She is very thorough and one of the best. this is her site: www.michiganbariatrics.com

HI. It's very normal. actually Dr. Deol's fee is the lowest in Michigan. I have researched it thoroughly. she doesn't make any money from this. it all goes to other disciplines for the aftercare. And she actually has an aftercare program, where as others in Michigan just charge the fee (sometimes as high as $5000) without actually providing an after care. So, it's quite reasonable.
