I am really excited yet nervous about my procedure. I would like to network with someone in the Michigan area that has had or will be having the procedure.

I'm in the central Michigan area. My surgery is scheduled for April 16th. Nervous and excited but just trying to stay positive! I start my pre

Op diet April 5.

I'm in Zeeland, MI and just got the call yesterday that they got the authorization from my insurance and my surgery is scheduled for May 1!!!!! I am so excited! It's happening very fast!!!

Greetings! I'll be sleeved April 17th in Grand Haven. Starting the pre-op diet on the 3rd. 312# now with a goal of 180# My nervousness has turned into total optimism.

I have Dr. Foote as well and soooo stoked!!! They wanted to get me in on April 17th but i wouldnt have been able to make it to the 1st preop appointment on the 3rd so i took the next available date

Just got my date, May 6th in Grand Rapids. I wish it was a little sooner but that can't be helped. On a 1200 cal preop diet. I start my 800 on April 17. I sorta feel that will be easier for me. Only because its an all-or-nothing type thing. If I have no options,making the right one will be easy. Super excited and anxious.

I'm from Lowell. Getting sleeved on May 13th with Dr. Foote also

I'm going through St. Marrys in Grand Rapids! I can't wait!

Any of you fellow MI folks deal with Priority Health insurance? I am super nervous about mine going through. Just kinda wondered how diff they were. Dr Footes office said I CANNOT drop below 40 bmi with no comorb. but that gives me like 5 pounds to play with., I am worried they are going to see me not lose ANY weight during 6 months and deny me. Ugh I am being vigilant and attending every visit. I meet with surgeon this month for more info

St. Mary's staff was great and the top floor walking track was a great perk! I spent a lot of time up there!
