PS in Michigan



Recommended Posts

It's time. When you can grab hold of the excess skin with both hands, and make it wave...........it's time. I need to research this but need some ideas as to where to start. need recomendations for doctors in Mi. Ann Arbor, Detroit area, or Lansing. And pricing. Any ideas how much..............and any doctors who know how to get around insurance companies? Basically, I need everything.

I could be totally wrong, but I THINK I remember that BooBooKitty's PS doc was from that area. You might want to look up her PS thread and see if that's right. She had some issues with him, but they may have been resolved.

Good luck.

I used Dr. Sayeg in Troy, MI. He is amazing. He specializes in reconstructive PS and understands the special needs of weight loss patients. He is very attentive and supportive.

Hi--

I'm having my surgery done by Dr. Michael Wood who heads American Bariatric Medicine Institute (ABMI) located in Madison Heights. There's a plastic surgeon associated with his office. I don't remember his name, but a few of the people in my support group talk about seeing him. Dr. Wood works out of Harper Hospital in Detroit, so there's a good possibility that the plastic surgeon does, too.

If you want contact information for ABMI, PM me and I'll send it to you.

Good luck,

Beautylocs

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
