Anyone have their lapband in Detroit, MI?

PeggyBluebird · 2007-09-09T21:12:24+0000

Hi everyone, I am scheduled to be banded on Sept. 18 at the Detroit Medical Center. I am a self-pay and it is costing me $11,700. My insurance would not pay due to my BMI criteria. I am 5'5" tall and weigh 224. I decided to have this done about 2 years ago but after my insurance refused to pay, I started checking into self-pay and Mexico hospitals, etc. I finally found this clinci in Detroit that is affilliated with a group of docs in Mexico. Has anyone out there had a band done by this group called the Michigan Obesity Surgical Specialists? I am preparing for my pre-op liquid diet beginning tomorrow and I can't tell you how nervous and anxious I am becoming. The surgery is supposed to happen at the Detroit Medical Center (DMC) but my coordinator speaks very broken English and lately I am starting to wonder if this is some type of scam. Does anyone out there have any words of advice or encouragement for me...........please. I really want to do this but I don't want to get ripped off either. Peggy

  Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

    Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

    Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
