I must have missed this post, too! I plan on being sleeved at the Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti...not too far from the Ann Arbor area. I can't wait!

Congrats to everyone already sleeved... I can't wait to get my own!!! I'm scheduled for July 5th at Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn w/ Dr. Bacal.... I've only met him once, but he really seems like a nice guy & knows his stuff! Another big plus is that his office staff are so awesome! I go in Thursday 5/26 to have a scope done of my stomach because I've had acid reflux forever and have never had that done before, he wants to make sure that I don't have any undiagnosed ulcers or any other problems in there... Other than that, I completed my psych evaluation on Friday and things are just cruising right along... I am so excited!! July can't get here fast enough!:D

Nice to 'meet' you all!

Wendy

I live in Michigan (around Clio), but because I am so often in Cincinnati for work, I'm actually going to be having my VSG surgery done in Ohio.

Congrats to everyone who has had it done already. Wendy, I'm sure your surgery will go off without a problem. :)

Hi Madison

Yes they are still happening. Every Monday night from 5-6pm at the GHP office. Also if you're on Facebook we have a peer ran group page too. Both the meetings and the facebook page are terrific. If you want to find the facebook page search for GHP Support on facebook. Who was your surgeon? I had Dr Baker and can not say enough great things about him.

I was going to go with Dr. Baker (he was hilarious at the orientation!) but I ultimately decided on Dr. Foote. I think they were both very kind, and extremely talented. I will try to make it to the next meeting, that Monday is actually the day I have my 2-week post-op appointments scheduled! Can you give me an idea of what sorts of things they do/talk about at these meetings? I'm usually very shy/quiet. >.<

Sure can. It's usually a group between 18-26 surgical patients and a GHP staff member. We talk about issues we're having, how things are going, etc. There are those that have been post op for 4+ years and there are those that just had their surgeries last week. It is a peer led discussion session and always informative, not a lecture format at all. I usually get there about 4:30pm. I'm currently taking classes at GVSU so I have to cut out of group early, usually around 5:20pm, last week I have to do that, thank goodness. If you would like to try it out Monday I'd be happy to look for you, that way you have at least one person you "know" there. If your appointment is in the afternoon it would work great to hang around, like I said I'm usually there about 4:30. No problem if you're shy, talk as much or as little as you'd like. Check it out, it really is a great group.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
