  1. I agree with you on the dumping and damage. I've seen too many failures with the RNY. Will you do the fills at Hurley also? Do they also have a support group that you go to? If you ever need a passenger let me know. We could meet somewhere along 94. I should let you know something about me. I'm Female, 50, married , and have a 30 year old daughter that lives in Chicago. I'm around 40 BMI and I need to lose this weight because I have bad knees.
  2. Is there a reason you guys picked Dr. Farhan? I wasn't really sure of what surgery I wanted. I really don't want the RNY because of the dumping and weight gain. Can you feel any restriction yet?
  3. Coach Buckley, How long did that take you to lose? And what kind of shakes do you use? I've just got all kind of ?'s. BOO BOO Kitty, I will be thinking of you this next week. Be sure to let us know how things go for you. My husband thinks I'm nuts but I want to see a LapBander eat. Hmmm!
  4. Wow Coach, you've done well. Are you following a certain diet? Josette, how far is that for you to drive and will you do the follow up with them? I would be willing to drive aways for a support group. I'm about 20 miles from Ann Arbor.
  5. Hi, I'm from Michigan too! I'm in the beginning stages of this process. I would love to have a support group from Michigan. I went to the Barix and would like to know if anyone has any info on the LapBand surgeries? Thank You
