If you find any please let me know. I was sleeved 2 weeks ago and the only Michigan support group I could find was Michigan people going to Mexico for surgery. What part of Michigan are you from?

I would love to join a support group. I am just across the border in Windsor and was sleeved on the 10th. Maybe we can set something up once a month.

Sounds good...maybe we should start one once we are a little farther out.....i was sleeved a week ago today. Doing good..on full liguids. i am from metro detroit area...Sterling Hgts area....

I think any time is good. I think sharing ideas and challenges will only help us be successful in the long run. Your location sounds close. Sounds like you are doing great for only one week out. I was sleeved on the 10th and started full liquids yesterday, it was very hard to get down one shake. Today seems a litlle better but full very fast. Post when you are ready to meet.

I have psychological appt this week and getting all the necessary paperwork around.

But still working toward the goal.

Hi Fellow Michiganders! I am also from the Sterling Hts area. Would love to be part of a group.

Anyone used Blue Care Network or M premiere care? What was the approval process like? How long did it take? I am awaiting approval.

Sleeved in Muskegon with Dr Gluck but live in Jackson

Had to do self pay to get the sleeve. They would not pay for it as I have blue cross Medicare managed care and was 65 at the time!! Also had gall bladder out and hiatal hernia repaired so they paid more than I thought. Sleeved 11/12 and down 37 pounds
