:girl_hug: Hi, I saw your post from a few days ago. I also am getting banded at Hurley in Flint. I do not have a date set yet but am hoping for April. How far are you away from a surgery date? Glad to hear from someone else in Michigan, and the same hospital!!!

Hiya Margi! Let's PM :girl_hug:

It is nice to see another going to Hurley. There don't seem to be very many of us here, but I realize they've only been banding for a little over a year. I just chatted a bit with BooBooKitty, she was banded there, too.

I don't have a date yet, either. I went to my information session in late February and I have a consultation March 20th. Can't wait!

Hi Faithmd, I left a message on my private one for you, but not sure if it went through.I really dont know how to put a message on for a private one. Anyway, then maybe we were in the same class at Hurley with Dr. Obeid, on Feb. 20?? Tell me, then is it that there is to be another consultation with him before the surgery? I am finding that so far things have been quite unorganized at that place. What is PM? If it is like being a partner that would be great as you and I will probly have our surgeries near the same time. Will be waiting to hear from you!!

Hi Margi, look in the upper right hand corner of any page, it will say welcome, Margi

I did not receive one from you yet. I'll send you another.

I was in the class on the 21st of Feb. Yes, they scheduled appointments to see Dr. Obeid that evening when you turned in your paperwork. I was the large redhead sitting in the front on the left side if you were facing Dr. Obeid as he spoke. I kept asking him questions and he tried to gently take me to task about his son being a med student and needing to see things when I asked if Hurley uses residents to do surgery. That's not what I meant and I told him I didn't mind people watching, I just didn't want a resident PLACING my band. :confused:

I have to get to be and take a nap (I work nights) I'll try to sign on from work.
