Hi....I am so excited and have not even had my consultation with the surgeon! My first appointment is Aug 7th. I am hoping to have the realize lap band. I am 51 years old...with three grown children. I have fought weight problems for the last 26 years of my life...loosing only to gain back again....over and over. If there is anyone from Mid Michigan please e-mail me as I would love to meet others that have been where I am. Thanks for listening to me blab....haha:wink_smile:

Delo, That is great that are so many people that look to you for advise....when did you have your surgery? I am wondering what amount of time it takes to lose the weight...months or years...I am new at this and have not had my first appoinment yet. Thank you Nettie:thumbup:

Hi Kirajh I am going to Dr Taylor in Detroit Aug 7th for my first consult, he did my dauhters rouen y surgery in 2005 and she is very happy with him so I chose to go there. Did the Dr in Hillsdale do your actual surgery? I am torn between the gastric bypass and the band ....some people say that with the band the sucsess rate is lower but I hope to learn more about the differences on the 7th. How often do you have have fills? Well thank you for replying to my message it's good to know that there is someone close by to talk to ... Nettie
