Hi I have been searching for support through my complications. It appears that RJ, Ana, and free spirit have gone through much more than I. You all have given me hope and I thank you for that.
I was sleeved 2/17. They found a huge leak 3/27, went back in and sutured 4/2. Abscess back 4/20 and 5/25. Now I have just a small leak that they are trying to fix by keeping me on a feeding tube.
I have another upper GI on Tuesday. Praying it is healed.
How are the 3 of you doing now?
Thank you for sharing your journey to encourage others through their struggles.

February 17th here for me! I am so excited for this journey as well. I am in Michigan as well, but I am going to Beaumont in Royal Oak with Chengeles.

Hello to all of the my fellow Michiganders! I, hopefully, will have my surgery through St. John Providence. My coordinator applied for insurance approval Friday so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed at this point.

Had my surgery at Beaumont royal oak four months ago. They were awesome! You're in good hands.

I'm not in Detroit metro anymore (we live in Alaska now) but we used to live in Beverly Hills just up the road from Beaumont Royal Oak. <3 Good memories for this Michigander at heart.

I am also new here. I haven't even seen the doctor yet. I am attending a seminar about this surgery and it was recommended to try this site for helpful information. I am absolutely sure I want to do this, and reading the forums and posts just make me more sure about my decision. Best of luck to you.

welcome to all our new-preops!
Use these 6 months to learn as much as you can.....
The pre-op process can be a bit of a rollercoaster ride as you get all your appointments in and waiting for the final approval/date can be hell on the nerves.............but it will go by faster than you think.
We're glad you're here!!!!
