Grand Traverse Surgery Patients out there?

Just hoping to hear from anyone in Traverse City that had G.T. Surgery do their LB.

Some of you might be 6-7 months post-op and wanted to know how things are going.

How are fills? I've heard the Dr's have missed a few times and had to go to Munson for fluro.

Just hoping for an update.

Thanks!:D

I had surgery on Monday the 12th. I have not had anything bad happen, I'm just pretty tired, feeling a little hungry today. I hope they havn't been having trouble with fills but they have a few more to practice on before me.

Keep me posted on your progress, we are just two days away from out banding date.

hey ms. M

i'm so glad to hear from a Traverse neighbor!

I just posted on the March 2007 forum. going okay for me. The darn port pulling under the skin hurts the worst, just some mild gas in the tummy that started today

I start on full liquids on Sun.

If I could just get comfortable while sleeping, I wouldn't have any complaints.

Good Luck to you!

let me know how your journey goes

Just wondering - does GT Surgery do outpatient lap bands? I really don't want to stay at the hospital, or even have the surgery at the hospital - I would prefer the surgical center. I just know too many really nosey and gossipy people that work at munson - and you can quote HIPPA all you want, some people still shoot their mouths off and I don't want people to know my business.
