I had the Micropouch surgery in July with Dr. Wood from Cori Center. I am now down 115# and feel great except that I have a non-surgical related kidney stone problem. I was in the hospital for 2 days after my surgery. I had mine at Harper Hospital in Detroit. If you want to email me personally for more questions, please feel free to do so. Kelly Case

I had the 'Micropouch'surgery done in Kane, PA, by Dr. Paul LaBrie. I had no complications and the LivLite group are wonderful to work with. Sapala-Wood Micropouch 12/12/02 - 213/130/125.

I had it 2.5 years ago. It is fantastic, so glad I chose this surgery. No stretching, no reflux, no ulcers, no revisions. And wonderful weight loss. Doctors are EXCELLENT, knowledgeable, and caring! http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bnfseries.phtml?Dir=Next&Time=1024457772 email me if you like [email protected]

I also had the Sapala Wood Micropouch done in Kane, PA by Dr. LaBrie on 10-31-03. I have lost a total of 144 lbs and had no problems. If you live close to PA I would consider going there. just a note I also was able to concieve again after infertility for 2 years, however I lost the baby. But I am confident that I can get pregnant again now, without needing fertility drugs to do so.. Good luck on your journey it is really worth it. Email me if you have any questions...
