Michigan Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hi michigan sleevers!

I go on Thursday 12/10/15 for my consult, nutrition class and psych evaluation. I can't wait! I'm seeing dr. Brian Gluck at life without limits in Muskegon mi.

Anyone worked with him? I have BCBS of Michigan and they seem all on board for it from when I call and speak with them but I'm so scared I won't get passed thru!

I'm 5'4" 302lbs. My BMI is 51.83 as of right now.

Per the insurance company I won't be required to do the 6 month medically monitored diet, but I'm so scared that rug is going to be pulled! I'm so ready to start taking better care of myself and get the sleeve done. I'm so ready to get myself healthy for my kids.

I had my surgery done by Dr Gluck and he's amazing! Surgery went great and recovery was very smooth (aside from the usual pain).

Meg100 I sent you a message! Hoping we can stay connected since we have the same surgeon!

Hi, I am new to Bariatric Pals. I live in southwest lower MI, about 3 miles off the Lake Michigan coast.

Hi Mevere, I'm also in SW lower Michigan along Lake Michigan. Where did you have your surgery and who did it? Mine was at Lakeland in Nile's with Dr. Schuhknecht.

I can't say I would regret doing it sooner, because as soon as I realized my insurance would cover it, I jumped right on starting the steps! lol!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
