: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.

I hate waiting, and waiting. Don't they say good things come to those who wait???????

Good luck and let us know what happens.

Just wanted to stop in and say "hi" from Texas. I am a Michigander, although I live in Texas now!! Miss the weather up there. Visited for 2 weeks in early July and now I'm back in 100+ weather!!! Ugh!! Well, my sister is thinking about lapband and lives in Bay City. I want her to go to an experienced doctor of lapband....over 1,000...any advice?? I will be banded on July 28 in Mexico (self pay).

Thanks!!

Good luck with your banding. You may miss the weather here but trust me, lately it has been just like Texas! (I used to live in Galveston & Wichita Falls). Except we have the mugginess not the dry heat. lol...

I am getting my banding at Hurley Hospital in Flint. They are still realtively new for it. ABout a year. BUT they have been doing the Rou E Y for 7 years. SO I think they know what they are doing! Just tell her you think she should check out other places.:)

Ready2bthin.. Tell her to check out the lapband center of Michigan in Port Huron. There's two doctors there and between the two of them they have over 1500 surgeries. I'll be banded by them on August 3rd.

Actually, I had told her to check out Port Huron as I believe that the docs there were proctored by one of the Mexican docs I was looking at. Not positive about that, but I knew they were one of the more experienced places in Michigan. Thanks for your input and hope all goes well!!

MMPC weight loss centers....Dr. Baker is great!! All costs are clearly explained and they work with most insurance companies. Around $800 dollars out of pocket.
