BTW - I LOVE to hear from those that were banded at Hurley in Flint, MI. Dr. Wagner did my surgery, as Dr. Obeid (bless his soul) had went on medical leave just b4 my surgery.

Hi Kitty,

My Hillsdale experience was very good. My sister-in-law lives in Jackson but she went to Hillsdale too.

Happy Holiday!

Good luck to you and your wife too!! My DH and I were banded a month apart. It's great to have someone to go through it with.

Hey Michigan people -

I KNOW there are LOTS and LOTS of Michigan people that have recently been banded -- let's get this thread going again.

I am feeling a little lonely without other people from Michigan on here!!!

Thanks - hope to hear from someone soon!!

Hello! I'm not recently banded, but I always enjoy talking to other Michigan people with the lap-band. It would be fun to get this thread going again. The band was the best decision I ever made for my health.

Nice to meet you MSan914!

One week to go!!! Yahoooo!!

Good Luck and keep us posted -- and also in case you have not found/noticed. There is now a section for each known surgeon in Michigan -- I found mine (Drs. Lane and Richardson) -

So that may be a good source for support and info too!!
