Any Northern Michigan Sleeves?



Recommended Posts

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?

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.post-221807-14245715288775_thumb.jpg

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.

@@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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
