Yes, I live in the crow wing county area. After researching, I found that the Crosby drs. were the most experienced back then. I am so glad that I had the band....if ever I start to gain a little weight, I just go in for a fill and I am back to being a "new" bandster. I had some plastic surgery done a couple of years ago for the hanging skin on my belly. Insurance even paid for it because I had rashes from the skin....Life is very good now and, like you, will never get obese again. Good luck on your new journey! Tess

I am new here. I had my band done in Crosby, MN at MIMIS by Dr. Paul Severson. This group is very well respected in the Bariatric circles of drs. in the midwest. I have been very happy with my care. It is only 90 minutes from Duluth. You can contact Shar at 1-888-546-4343. My surgery was done in 2003 and have been at goal after one year of being banded. The bariatric dept. still keeps in touch and makes sure I am back there yearly. The first year, it was every month. Now, if I feel I need a fill, they are very good about it. I loved my experience there and highly recommend them.
