Grand Rapids Anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hi!

I am going to the MMPC in Grand Rapids. I've done all my pre-op testing and am waiting for my surgery date.

I was on a different board for a while, but they were primarily RNY and quite nasty, in my opinion. I'm glad to be here and hope hope hope to find a friend in the GR/Kzoo area!

Hello, I am waiting for my surgery date too. I get released from my sleep Apenia on Sept. 22, 2006, I was just approved from my Insurance Co. I live just 20 mins from the mmpc on East Paris, Grand Rapids. I just can't wait to get started, I have had to wait for just about everything. Dr. Baker is my Surgeon. This is my 2nd post, my 1st was to a member. Any Grand Rapids people out there getting ready to get banded? Lets do it together. Mary

Hi purtynailz!

I'm very close to you. I live near 28th and Breton in GR. My surgery was postponed because of a low Iron count. I have to take Iron for 2 months, then retest my blood. My insurance is on board, I just have to get my iron up.

Are you excited? How long after you're released from your sleep apnea will they schedule your surgery?

Hi I'm Greg and I am from Harper Woods (sub of Detroit). I was banded on 8/10/04 and my sleep apnea is gone now. And I had a severe case of it.

Well come to the board and hope your surgery date gets here soon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
