I was sleeved on 3/6/14. I have had a great experience but I know I need some support. What are you willing to pay for a personal trainer?

I was sleeved July 30, 2013. I've also had a great experience. I have excellent support from my family and these boards are great, but it would be nice to actually talk to someone who has been there. How much is the personal trainer? I can pay as long as it's not too expensive :-)

yes-does anyone know the average cost of a trainer?

I haven't heard back from Insurance yet. Hoping this week.

I am looking to get the group together and then he will be able to give us the pricing. I know that he will be fair and will give us all great advice and taylor a plan that will make us sucessful. Please let me know what days and times work best?

Anyone know of any North Metro support groups that are open? Was sleeved at PN, but getting to St Louis Park during rush hour to make a 5:30 meeting isnt doable for me.

But I would still like to find a support group up here in the north somewhere.

If anyone can point me out somewhere that'd be awesome.

Thanks.

I think the best bet for most people would be a weekend. Usually I would say Saturday morning, but I have some unusual Saturday morning trainings a few times in May.

If we want to do during the week, I vote for Monday or Tuesday evening.

I would be interested however I do not belong to a Y, would that be a problem

I would assume so for the trainer. The Y is not too pricy if your thinking about joining a gym, plus most insurances will give a discount for going a certain number of times.

We did talk about meet for support too. No gym membership required for that one :-)

The nearest Y to me is like 30 min away! I would meet for support groups. My clinic also offers support groups as well.

What day works for all to meet I can do wends or Friday.

Friday after 4:30 would be good. Any news on cost from the trainer?

Hello Minnesota! I was sleeved in November 2012, I am in maintenance. Had Dr Svendson at Methodist, and am so happy to have had the sleeve. I live in the north metro and am looking for others that eat like me. :)

Fawnb27, that sounds just like me. I was sleeved by Dr. Svendson in October 2013 and live in the north metro. Would be great to have someone to talk to and compare notes.
