I can say that I had the micropouch done in 4/15/02 with Dr. Woods who is partners with dr. sapala and I believe now dr. Schuhknect too. They moved in I beleive May to Warren, cause mine was done in Detroit. These Dr's are awsome and have tons of knowledge, cause like the BTC, this is all they do, it's what they specialize in, so you have great surgeons in mind, and you will also talk to a medical nutritionist too. I am happy with my decision, and I have lost so far 80lbs. Also, they have support group meetings once a month, their next one is the last Wednesday in September. As far as with the micropouch. I feel great and can eat normally, meaning it isn't like you take a bite and feel full, but it is very small, which means less chances of getting bigger, but I don't feel like I am restricted or anything. email me if you have any further questions.

I too had Dr. Wood...and Dr. S is his new partner. I had surgery January 24th of this year and have lost about 125 pounds now. Loved Dr. Wood to death, although the follow up care isn't that great, so you better be motivated to make all your appointments.

I, too, had the fabulous Dr. Wood for my micropouch surgery. In fact, I traveled from Grand Rapids just so I could have the micropouch surgery. Their office staff is excellent and so is Dr. Wood. BiCounty Community hospital was pretty good, in my opinion. As for my micropouch, I love it...I can't wait to go back for the second checkup Friday (at 5 weeks post op) so I can see how much weight I've lost. I haven't had any major problems...just the usual adjustment ones. I am thankful to Dr. Wood and his office staff and have no regrets about having the micropouch!! Good luck!
