  7. Leenerbups, There are only 2 hospitals in MI that are certified, so far. Once this gets going, and others become certified, we should be able to go anywhere close. Martha

  9. OMG, Terry. This is what I am afraid of. I am a diabetic, and I have asked my clinic the same question. They quaranteed me they have a 2% chance of port infection rate. They had NO reported incidents. Hope you are doing better. Good Luck! [ I have not been banded yet] Martha
  10. I know, I just read your thread. Is there no certified hospital in your area? Your doctor or clinic should keep you informed. That's how I found out. The waiting game. It sucks big time. Martha
