HI Everyone!

I'm new to this forum, and yes, just starting my journey. The only decision I have made is that I am definite about it being the lap-band. I have read enough that I know that this is the one for me. Plus, I know a couple people that have had this surgery.

Now, my next step is researching to find a surgeon in my area.

Anyone in the Roseville/St. Clair Shores/Warren area?

I know I can drive to Port Huron, but if I can find something closer that is just as good, then I prefer to do that.

thanks for your help!

Dr. Meguid and Dr. Hawasli are in St. Clair Shores. Here's their website:

Eastside Surgical Specialists, PC

And here is Meguid's profile on obesity help.com:

Bariatric Surgeon Profile - Ahmed Meguid M.D.

They came highly recommended by my surgeon (who has since moved out of state, otherwise I would have recommended her!). I have just started seeing Dr. Krause at Royal Oak Beaumont for aftercare. I've only seen him once, but I like him so far and I've heard good things about him too. Here's Dr. Krause's profile from Obesity Help: Bariatric Surgeon Profile - Kevin Krause, M.D.

Hope that helps!
