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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
