Looking for local mi support

I'm from michigan' date=' I had my surgery at Henry Ford in Downtown Detroit...Post op 4 weeks monday. I'm on fitness pal mrsf03 if you use it )[/quote']

Oh it was Dr. Carlin who is awesome. Best care ever!

Any of you guys done this in MI on a selfpay? BCN is potentially denying my insurance coverage bc although I have 2 yrs of Dr supervised dieting, they want 6 consecutive months of Dr visits as well...I need to pull my medical records to see if I've adhered to that...but just looking into options...... .

Sleeved by dr. Foote in grand haven on nov 28!

I had Grand Health partners as well...Dr. baker...In Grand rapids..I love those guys they do GREAT WORK

I had my surgery with Dr. Nunn. I had a wonderful experience with him and his staff. I was sleeved 7/26/12 and as of today i have lost 88 and I am 28 pounds from my goal. This is the best thing I ever did!! Good luck everyone.

I have BC/BS and had to do the six months physician supervised doctor visits. Apparently some time last year they changed their policy requiring this be done. Good luck.

I live in Troy and had my surgery on Jan. 15th. I went to Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Mexico since I was self pay. I am one week out today and 6 lbs. from surgery and down 15 lbs from my prep diet starting weight. I feel very lucky because I feel great! I have had a very easy, pain free recovery. Only problem has been dealing with head hunger!

Riverview,MI. here! 20 minutes south of Detroit. Had my sleeve done @ Henry Ford Hospital in Wyandotte, MI, by Dr. Kharbutli on Oct.26,2011... Best thing I ever did for myself!

He is excellent! Let me know how it went!

It went amazing! I will be 4 weeks post op on Thursday, and it's the best thing I've ever done! He put me at ease, and the entire process has been fairly smooth. I recovered quickly, and am so happy! I could just kiss the man!

I was sleeved last Wednesday by Dr Katz at St. John's. I love my surgeon so much I drive from Ypsi!
