I am planning on having my surgery at The Borgess Bariatric Center in Kalamazoo. Has anyone out there used this facility?
Topic: RE: WoW! Emergency Surgery last Friday
Thanks Jody!
I did find out what my PCP wanted to see me about with the ultrasound too. She never got the CT report from the ER and wanted to know why I was in the ER and what they did for me since the ultrasound was clear.... OMG!!! They couldn't have asked me that over the phone???? $40 dollars later now she knows.... What a crock!!!!
HUGS,

Topic: Love this Michigan weather!
Autumn is around the corner and tomorrow we will have our first real taste of that kind of weather this season. (If the weather people get it right for a change.) It's sunny, breezy and oh so cool outside and makes me want to take a walk and breathe in some of the fresh air. It is so much easier now than it would have been a year ago.
I hope all of my fellow Michiganders are enjoying this weather as much as I am. I sure hope the storms last night didn't tear you up or leave you without power. Get outside and enjoy this before we are snowed in this winter. (By the way, I love that too.)
I may be a little eccentric, but Michigan is the only state worth living in to me.

Glad it was caught before it ruptured... that can be very dangerous.

Hi there:
You will love Dr. Elhorr. He is a great surgeon and a great person.
Sorry that it took me so long to come over to the Michigan Board.

FYI: I have also set up a group on the OH groups for our group to use as an informative tool and virtual meetings. LBs Be Gone ! You can click on the blue link to join!
We'll have the group create a better name for it and the Group too at a meeting!
It is kind of on line the features include resourcefor on line meetings, Message boards, group activities, group photos, resource links page and many more administrative functions.
I also think the we need to have more then one administrator for the groups site so it can be accessed and updated frequently! Any VOLUNTEERS let me know!
