If you are anywhere near Grand Rapids (they have patients from all over Michigan, Indiana and Illinois.) This is a great bariatric practice with superior surgeons. I HIGHLY recommend it. I had Dr. Foote who is very skilled. I had no complications, feel great and have lost 31 lbs in 6 weeks. I am 67 years old.

I am going through my 6 month weight loss before I can have surg. I am going to GHP. They seem to really know their stuff. I am also going to request Dr. Foote as I went to his seminar before starting. Good to hear everything went well for you.

That is so great to hear. Seems like there are so many great surgeons around GR. I was just up there in December for my mom's knee replacement surgery. She was at Butterworth, and they couldn't have taken better care of her. They live in Belding (where I grew up), but I've been in Illinois for 17 years now. :)

you will not regret your decision to go with Dr Foote and GHP. When do you plan to have surgery?

Thank you, my sister lives in Battle Creek and is thinking of having the surgery done. I'll let her know about Dr. Foote.

You're welcome, Velena. I think she will be pleased with him and the entire program. You, or she, can go online and see when the next seminar is being held. I think it also tells which surgeon is presenting. Seeing Dr Foote in action gives a patient a good understanding of the kind of doctor he is.

I was up and around while I was in the hospital. St.Mary's has an amazing atrium floor and I walked it several times a day. I was released a day early because I could keep down all that they asked of me and my incisions were only a bit tender. I have history with stomach and intestinal problems so any gas, etc. pain seemed much less for me. I went shopping two days later, three days later I visited a critically ill relative in a large hospital, and felt really good. My surgery was uncomplicated, incisions are neat and beautifully healed and I would do it over in a heartbeat.

Thats awesome. I'm not sure what hospital I will be at. Not sure if my insurance will push for spectrum or not. I like st marys though. Were you kept for 2 days? I plan on taking a week off of work since I don't have a physical job.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
