Hello from WI!

[gwyllgi 0]

I live not too far from Wausau, WI and am scheduled to be banded by Dr. Calvin Selwyn out of Stevens Point on 26 March 2008 - this Wednesday, which can't get here fast enough! I've been trolling this board shamelessly for a while and thought that it was finally time to put my foot out. I look forward to continuing to share everyone's experiences!

Hello! I am in Wisconsin too, in the Milwaukee area. I was banded on Feb. 22 of this year and going in for my first fill on the day you are getting banded.

Good luck to you and keep in touch!

I grew up around Milwaukee - in Sussex. I miss the area usually, but this winter I think I'm glad I'm up here as we actually got less snow!

Good luck with your fill!

It's great to see other Wisconsinites here; we seem to be under-represented! Good luck with your band, wherever you are in the process!

I had my surgery in Mexico and actually went back there for my fill - it was cheaper than the doctor here. Dr. Chua in Milwaukee charges $300 for the initial consultation then $300 for each fill - each fill is only 1cc.

I went back to Mexico and had 5cc's put into my band.

I live in Wausau, WI. I am meeting with Dr. Calvin Selwyn on April 22, 2008 for my first consult. Hoping to be banded before the end of summer. I am a RN and used to work for Ministry Health, heard many great things about Dr. Calvin Selwyn, my girlfriend just got banded from Dr Selwyn 6 week ago, and had her first fill last week. It is good to see other people on here from Wisconsin. I will keep everyone posted to how the journey is going. Just saw the shrink last week

I love Marshfield Clinic - my GP's through them and, whenever possible, I head there rather than going through Aspirus or heading down to Point to go through Ministry.

Best of luck with your journey!

I actually live in Kronenwetter - it's good to see other people in the area!

Dr. Selwyn definitely rocks. He's down-to-earth and makes sure that everyone has realistic expectations, and explains everything really well. His team is awesome, too; everyone I've talked to has been super nice and helpful. Best of luck with it all!
