Ideal Candidate: We have an experienced comprehensive program that has been designated a "Center of Excellence". Very close follow-up is the key to success with band patients. We use both the "Lap-Band" and the"Realize" bands for our patients. Adjustments and check-up visits are monthly the first year, then less often as needed. We follow compliance with diet and exercise as well as lab values. Patients that follow-up long term do twice as well as the ones who do not.

- Arm Lifts (Brachioplasty)
- Approx Cost:

- Revision Surgery
- Approx Cost:
- 25,000.00
Ideal Candidate: Bariatric Revisional surgery is very complex with higher risks, mainly leaks. This is best done by Bariatric Surgeons with considerable expertise in this area. All revision patients are evaluated by a committee to make sure that everything is done to improve the results. We often employ special techniques to prevent problems and more easily treat the difficulties encountered in these patients. We have 16 years of experience in doing this type of surgery and are quite familiar with these patients
- Sleeve Gastrectomy
- Approx Cost:
- 18,000.00
Ideal Candidate: Sleeve gastrectomy is approved in Michigan only if the BMI is over 50. This may change. A long tube is created from the stomach and the outside is removed. There is no band and no bypass. This is an ideal operation for patients with intestinal disease such as Crohn's Disease. Other patients with liver disease, Gastric Polyps, Severe arthritis and other reasons make this an attractive alternate procedure. The weight loss results are inbetween the band and bypass, or 55% of the extra weight lost.

Thigh Liposculpture (Liposuction)
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
- Approx Cost:
- 5,000.00
Ideal Candidate: Specialize in Bariatric Plastic Procedures:Abdominoplasty, Brachioplasty, Thighplasty. Abdominoplasty on Bariatric patients is best done by the Bariatric trained Surgeun for several reasons. The muscles in obese patients become loose and need to be tightened up when the "Tummy Tuck' is done, otherwise there will not be a flat Tummy. Also, most often a vertical component is removed to get rid of the extra skin in the center. This is called a "Fleur-de-Lis" incision. This gives the best results.
