I had a gastric sleeve December 15th and would like to know if anyone in the Petoskey area wants to be buddies?

Hi, I am in the SSM but still waiting for approval. How are you feeling?

I feel good, get tired easily still, but I expected that. Are you from Northern Michigan?

_{Yes, the Soo. I am glad to hear you got through the surgery. Did you have much pain? When you say tired, are you talking napping all day or up but not doing much activity?}

Wow there are people for MI on here.. from Traverse, not sleeved yet.

Hope you are doing better today. And good luck sunshine, hope you get approved!

I am happy to see other people from Michigan on here! When I mentioned I was tired, I was just content with laying low, and not really doing anything. It was a change for me. I typically work 55-60 hours a week, and am used to running around. I think my body was telling me to relax and heal. I had 3 weeks off from work and just returned this past Monday. I have gotten my energy back and feel even better than I did before the surgery!

Good luck on the approval and the surgeries!

Glad to hear you are doing better. Did you get your surgery done in Petoskey? I used to live there as teen.

I had mine done in Saginaw. Not northern Michigan more like mid Michigan. I am 5'9 and met my goal five months post op. I love my sleeve. It has changed my life. Good luck to you ladies, hopefully these pics will inspire you.

And my wedding dress is too big!!!

Thinkingthinner1109 You met goal in 5 months! Great job! Thanks for the photos, and you are an inspiration.

I am pre-op and not from northern MI but.....just wanted to say hi to you Michiganders!

I am in Ann Arbor-- ????????

HI! @TMG1980TMG how far along are you in the process? Do you have a surgery date yet?

Hi everyone-

I am from the Grand Rapids area. I just went to my seminar and found out from my insurance will not require me to attend a 6 month medical weight loss program. I am going to grand health partners for my surgery. I am awaiting for my first appointment.

Hi from Belleville Muchigan not far from Ann Arbor

Welcome Ladies!!

@@Kelly1223 that's great you don't have to wait 6 months!

@@Terryrobinson have you had your surgery yet?

@@Kelly1223 that's where I had my sleeve done in December! You're in good hands.

Hey fellow Michiganians!

I'm a little south of you in Big Rapids, which is an hour north of Grand Rapids and about an hour south of Traverse, but I'd love to be your buddy.

If you are on myfitnesspal, feel free to add me so I can be your cheerleader.

It's ChrisJane180

Best of luck on your journey!
