I would recommend going to Grand Health Partners in Grand Rapids MI. It's about an hour north of Battle Creek/Kalamazoo but they are the best surgeons and facility in the area. They don't just do surgery and send you on your way. The aftercare and follow ups are wonderful. I believe they even now have their own endoscopy area at their office.
I am in need of help finding a surgeon in the southwest Michigan area (Coldwater, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, etc... or even into Northern Indiana). I had the RNY years ago and have now moved away from my surgeon who is in another state. I am having some pouch pain and likely need an endoscopy. I want a surgeon who will listen to me and has a great deal of experience and doesn't just tell you to take tums and carnation instant breakfast for nutrition but truly understands the importance of supplements, etc... If anyone can help me find someone (I would love recommendations on those to stay away from as well as those who are good options) I would really appreciate it.I am in need of help finding a surgeon in the southwest Michigan area (Coldwater, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, etc... or even into Northern Indiana).

Hi, everyone. I have healthplus insurance, just wondering what steps will they make you go through to be approved.
I had abdominoplasty by DiNick (Livonia) and he did an outstanding job of both getting insurance to pay for the panni portion and the actual surgury. I had Daniel Sherbert for the recontructive portion of a double mastectomy (tissue expanders, exchange to implants). I have had one revision already, and have to go back in again for the same issue. Hence, what was originally sold as a 3-6 month proces has evolved into a minimum of a two year ordeal. Don't get me wrong, I adore him. Great bedside manner, right side turned out perfect... just having issues with the left side.

Something like this needs therapy. See if she is willing to go with you, because if her insecurity continues to push you away it will eventually hurt your marriage.
Good luck.

I went to Daniel Sherbert in West Bloomfield and loved him.
Good luck
Has anyone had abdominal adhesions from stomach surgery's? 13 years post op and have many hernias. Any suggestions??
I get Short Term Disability thru my work anytime I would be off for more than 5 consecutive days, so that's what was used. In this case I called to make sure it would be covered and it was since it was deemed medically necessary.
