Thanks everyone I have united health and they require you to go through Optum health. I have to use a Dr in my net work. I have to go through either Henry Ford Hospital Downtown or Macomb County hospital. After a little research I am choosing to go meet Dr.Keith.Norton.Marshall. He has been doing these surgerys for 21 year's. I have read his reviews and sounds like he has alot of good reviews. How many surgeon's did you all go through before picking "The One" ?

Great Thank you !!! I think Saginaw is alittle to far for me I live 20 minutes South East of Detroit. I found a Doctor he's about an hour away from my house but the man has 21 years experince and has alot of great reviews. I am going to attend his seminar Monday. Wish me luck I cant wait to start my process and get things going. Thanks Again Jen

I 'interviewed' a lot of doctors before picking mine. I also went online and did a search on each doctor. I found a medical related site where people could leave feedback on their surgeons and the followup care. I ended up choosing Barix, a bariatric treatment clinic, in Ypsilanti, Michigan. My surgeon was Dr. Nunn and I've been very very pleased with my followup care. They only do fills one day of the week, but I've called the day before and they were able to get me in for a fill or unfill. They are very supportive and non-judgmental about how slow I've been losing (about a pound a week).

The main reasons I chose them had to do with their pre-surgical requirements. Most of the other surgeons had presurgical requirements that included a required 6 month supervised diet, a weight loss of at least 20% of my excess weight, weekly visits to their nutritionist, a 30 day presurgery liquid diet and a host of other stuff that my insurance company didn't require. With Barix, I went to the seminar and 6 weeks later I had my surgery.

Thanks Yeah I ended up choosing Dr. Keith Norton Marshall.

I am excited to get my process on the way. I am hoping to have

my surgery by July or August. I just started my healthy weight loss coach

call and have my appointment with the dietician schedules. My Seminar

is on Monday So excited. My Insurance requires that you have to

be 18years old, have a psych evaluation ,6 months recorded diet and

that's it. I am sure there will be things that the surgeon will want me to

have done for hi knowledge. Other than that excited for a new me.

Thanks Jen
