A few years ago I moved to Southern Michigan and need to find a new surgeon. I am 8+ years out from WLS and am beginning to have some pouch pain. I probably need an endoscopy done and need to find a new weight loss surgeon to go through. How is the best way to find qualified, competent surgeons in my area. Any advice or recommendations?

post your question on Michigan forum... or on WLS specific page..

At the top of the page, hover on "Find" and type in your zip code to find doctors on your area. This is not a complete list but can get you started. You could also search your health insurance website to see if any bariatric doctors are on your plan.
