I just put the whole county down because of the three main WLS programs and hospitals in this area. Plus I am a patient and work for St. John Health System.

Anyone out t there want to train for some of these marathons? Walking, recipe swap, Bariatric cook night, we can set up a meeting place for all to attend and maybe ask local business, doctors, and other for support.

I'm getting ready to have my surgery on May 14, 2015 and I'm so excited and nervous!! I'm getting my procedure done at St Mary Mercy Livonia and I can't wait to start my journey. I just keep looking at the progress pictures praying that my results are similar :)

I love Dr. Roberts and his staff. My only regret is that I did not do it sooner. Which surgery are you having? I am so happy for you and the journey for change you have decided to take. I am 7 months in and am nearly 70#'s down and feel amazing.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
