Question:
Comment for recent posters asking about Mich drs doing lap/RNY:

Michigan Medical PC (MMPC) in Grand Rapids has an excellent Weight Management Program which is staffed by 4 bariatric surgeons, several of which are doing Lap/RNYs (Dr. Randall Baker and Dr. Foote). What I think is outstanding about this group (besides the surgeons' level of expertise) is that they have their own nutritionist right in their office. It's required that you meet with her 2 weeks pre-op and every 2 weeks post-op until you're stable nutritionally. They also have their own behaviorist and exercise physiologist, and a non-surgical weight managment program. I've worked in medical offices for 20 years, and tend to be very critical of how offices are run, the professionalism of the staff, etc., but I've been very impressed with this office. Their phone number is (616)974-4400. Julie McGowan lap/RNY 12/11/02 290/250    — Jules B. (posted on January 26, 2003)
