I hope that you will be able I attend some support groups post op. I know they're offered thru dr Glucks office in Ludington.

Yes, I'd like to make it happen--whether through Dr Gs office or online--but I'm in Lansing, unfortunately. Fortunately, though, I think there are some around here, too.

I am beside myself with excitement and anticipation. My VSG is scheduled for 9/1 with Dr Schram at Blodgett Hospital. I had my "Final Decision" appointment today, and he had an opening for the 1st so I took it! Met with the NUT and got on the pre op diet on the spot. Pre op appointment is Monday. I am so excited for the next step on the journey!

That's awesome, congrats! Nice when things fall together like that ????

Had my sleeve done August 18 in Grand Rapids at Blodget by Dr. Jon Schram. If anyone is reading this who has not had the surgery but is thinking about it I highly recommend him.

The surgery was two days ago, and so far, so good. Schram is a good guy, and the staff here at Blodgett has been great. Going home today. We'll see how that goes.

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).

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
