I was sleeved 1-15-14, by Dr Foote of GHP Grand Rapids....so a week and s half ago. Feeling good. No nausea, no more gas pains. Have ridden my recumbent bike for 2 days straight 20 & 25 minutes respectively. Woo Hoo. Got a streak going. . Have not weighed myself in a couple days, but the last time I did had lost 8lbs since surgery, yielding a total of 35 lbs since I started dieting 6 months prior to insurance approval. Seems to be coming off faster now. Have not been hungry. Been conscientious about protein and liquid consumption. The only sense I have of the surgery is the feeling of a band around my torso between waist and chest. I imagine that will go away eventually.

Glad to be an "official" member of the Michigan Sleevers Group. See post below. Getting used to this iPhone app and not as adept as I will be.

Love this fast track from approval to surgery. My last 6 month meeting is Dec 4. I hope I can get my surgery before the end of Decenber for tax purposes. Wish my luck. Fingers crossed! Pray! Thanks.

A noticeable loss. That is inspiring.

I HOPE to be sleeved in December. Will have completed my 6th month pre-op supervision per my insurance dictates. So, it depends upon approval turn around time, meeting with the TEAM, and the availability of my surgeon, Dr Foote. Sooooo, I am bracing myself for the possibility of a Jan date. I am also SO tired of waiting...and am do ready to get on with it!!

This is so inspiring. You look great. Thanks so much for SHOWING your progress. I am hoping to be sleeved in late Dec or January. I hope I am as successful as you.

Thanks for this note. I believe you are correct. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Good. You are getting this done BEFORE you get the co-morbidities.
