Hi Sanderson, I'm from southern michigan. How are you doing?

Hi Sanderson, I live in Gregory which is in the sw corner of Livingston county. Where in Mi do you live?

Hi kimmie,

thank for the reply. I am doing good. How are you? I haven't had the procedure as of yet but I am moving forward with it. I still have 3 more weeks of the required class to take. Have you had the band in place?

Hi kari,

I live in Williamston. Really close to you.

Hi Michiganders. I too am from MI; Kalamazoo. I have been preapproved and starting my journey tomorrow with my first visit to Sparrow Weight Management in Lansing. The insurance approval took a few months so I am hoping I can get through the various medical testing that is done presurgery and get to the banding. I am anxious to get my new band.

I have been reading the various posts and the information from everyone has been very helpful!

Hi--

I live in Detroit and was banded on February 16 of this year at Harper Hospital. I've lost 30 pounds, feel really good and am convinced this is the best decision I've ever made.

Good luck to everyone!

Hi, Yes, I was banded November 24th 2008. I started at 301, and I'm down to about 260, depending on which scale you wieght me on. The Doctors scale always seems to be a little on the heavier side. Keep me posted on your progress. Oh, I'm from Hillsdale county.

Wendy, I am thinking of going to Dr Nunn. I live South of Milan. Did you have your surgery done outpatient? What did you think of him? I am just starting the whole process and was excited to find someone who had actually used this doctor.

Hi there, I'm in Midland, MI, up north of Flint by about an hour. I went to Harper hospital in Detroit for my band, and am still going there for fills. (Can't find anyone else who will do them at a reasonable price that is closer to me.)

My advice: Find out what your fills will be, how many are included, if not included, how much they charge for each, and be prepared to make the drive there at least 10 times in the first year or so, and a few times after that each year, forever. Good luck to all you prospective bandsters!!

Hi, I am from the Kalamazoo area, and I do not have a surgery date yet. Hopefully I will get one next week.:cool2:

Keep me posted and best of luck to you. It was the smartest thing I ever did.

Why did you go to Lansing and not Kalamazoo?
