Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a Dr in the Metro Detroit area, does anyone have any recomendations?

I have BCBS insurance if that makes a difference.

TIA

Gilly, don't know of any in the Metro area, but I HIGHLY recommend Port Huron. They are a center of excellence, have a staff dedicated to lap band patients and the docs there have done almost 2,000 lab band surgeries. I have BCBS PPO insurance and was approved without any problems.

Thanks for the reply... Port Huron is only 90 minutes away we go camping there often (in fact have just come back).

I will certainly look into that.

Congrats on your weight loss so far.

Gilly... I travel 4 hours to get to Port Huron and it's worth every minute to me to have peace of mind that I'm getting the best care from very experienced doctors and staff. They are all wonderful and extremely competent and caring.

I second the recomendation for Port Huron. I live 1 hour 40 minutes away and it is worth the drive. The hospital staff was wonderful right down to the man in the coffee shop. You can tell that they take great pride in what type of environment their patients enter.

It was very easy yet informative and there is always someone available for questions if you have one. I have heard great things about both Doctors. I have Dr. Boutt. He is great, wonderful bedside manner.

I would look into going here.

We too go camping in Port Huron. We stay at the KOA.

I am a Dr. Boutt patient also at Port Huron. I love it there. I live in Lansing so I have a 100 mile drive each time. I enjoy going and receive great care while I'm there.

Gilly, I too live in the Metro Det. area. I will be having my surgery on July 9th, about another 2 1/2 weeks or so, with Dr. Deol in Sterling Hgt. I will be having it at Beaumont / Troy. I feel very confident with her. I know some have wrote about her extra costs, but for me, I like the fact that I will be going to once-a- month support group meeting I had to pay for facilitated by her dietician and psychologist. I am not sure about how others are run. She and her office staff are very reasuring, calming and pleasing to work with. I would highly recomond her. Good luck where ever you choose.

I had mine done by Dr Kevin Krause in Royal Oak, at Beaumont Royal Oak. I'm very pleased with both my doctor and the hospital. I get my first fill July 16, anxiously waiting for that. If you'd like any more info, feel free to pm me.

Hi Gilly,

I also had my band done by Dr. Deol in Sterling Heights. I have nothing but great things to say about her entire practice. She is a wonderful person and I truly believe she has her patients' best interests in mind. My hospital stay at Troy Beaumont was great as well. Great nursing care!

Maria, Glad to hear your stay at Troy, Beaumont was a good experience. I hope mine will be equally as well in 2 weeks. I too think Dr. Deol is a wonderful person/ doctor... can't say enough about her... keep up the great work.

Barix Clinic in Ypsylanti Michigan did Gastric Bypass on my dear friend (she didnt' qualify for Lap band which they also do there)

Her Dr. Kam was excellent, and she'd do it all over again... no regrets whatsoever... she has lost 68 lbs. since Feb surgery.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
