September 19, 201213 yr 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.

October 22, 201213 yr Hi Fellow Michiganders! I am also from the Sterling Hts area. Would love to be part of a group.
October 27, 201213 yr Anyone used Blue Care Network or M premiere care? What was the approval process like? How long did it take? I am awaiting approval.
January 19, 201313 yr 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
