Hi Kitty,

My Hillsdale experience was very good. My sister-in-law lives in Jackson but she went to Hillsdale too.

Happy Holiday!

Hey Michigan people -

I KNOW there are LOTS and LOTS of Michigan people that have recently been banded -- let's get this thread going again.

I am feeling a little lonely without other people from Michigan on here!!!

Thanks - hope to hear from someone soon!!

Hello! I'm not recently banded, but I always enjoy talking to other Michigan people with the lap-band. It would be fun to get this thread going again. The band was the best decision I ever made for my health.

Nice to meet you MSan914!

Hi Michiganders!

Going to be banded on the 29th of May. Pre-op diet starts tomorrow. Glad to know you'll be here when the "deed" is done.:smile:

Best of luck to you msbrady! I hope you have a smooth surgery and a quick recovery. Let us know how you do :thumbup:

One week to go!!! Yahoooo!!

Good Luck and keep us posted -- and also in case you have not found/noticed. There is now a section for each known surgeon in Michigan -- I found mine (Drs. Lane and Richardson) -

So that may be a good source for support and info too!!

Just got notified that my Insurance has been approved and scheduled for August 20th. Can not wait for the "S" Day!!!

Hello...

Brighton, here.

I was just banded on January 6th at U of M Hospital, Dr. Finks is my surgeon.

I hope to see some activity from some other Michiganders (or do you say Michiganians?).

Take care!
