I am newly sleeved and would like to join a group...the hospital has one..but i would like to checkout others...thx

Hi Michigan - I'm about to get sleeved in about a month. I've jumped through all the hoops to get approval and now I'm just waiting for the six month waiting period my insurance company requires. However, I'm now starting to have second thoughts about my surgeon. I'm sure Dr. Hendricks will do great, but I like UofM's after program and I think it offers a lot more in those terms.

Anyone else get sleeved at UofM?

Sorry....I live in Jackson but went to Muskegon where my daughter lives and had Dr. Gluck! They have a fantastic followup program that I'm involved in. Good luck with your decision.

Hi kzoo, Muskegon here. Hit my four month last 29th. How r u?

I was sleeved by Dr. Gluck in Muskegon. I hit 3 months on Monday. Have been traveling so have weighed on different scales so don't know how much I really weigh.

Hello Michiganders. I live in Portage but will be moving to Muskegon in a few weeks. Was sleeved on December 18th by Dr Jon Schram in Grand Rapids. Just had my 6 week post op check up. Down 72 pounds and feeling like a new person

Hi Kel San I am with U of M and will be sleeved March 18th. So far I'm very happy with their program.

Congratulations Leleboo! I think you found a great program - Which doctor will be doing your surgery? .

Dr. Varban will be doing my sleeve.

I live in Holland and was also sleeved by Dr. Jon Schram in Zeeland. My surgery was February 4.

I am in the Downriver (Metro) Detroit area and am s happy to have found this forum. Hoping for surgery by mid-March. Waiting for my surgery date now.

I'm from the Lansing area & just starting. I have my first meeting tonight but am already convinced the sleeve is for me.

See if you can join the support group with Dr. Gluck's practice- Life without Limits. They are awesome!

This is for the person moving to Muskegon!

I'm near Detroit (western suburbs). I'll be sleeved on 2/27.

I'm also in Lansing. Dr. Lane. Sleeved in June. Looking for local support.

I live in Jackson but go to support groups in Muskegon where I had surgery! My daughter had her surgery there.
