Hello Michigan! ...is this thing on?

Hello Michiganders!!

There's not much activity in this group.. but I thought I'd add.

I haven't been sleeved yet. I am seeing Dr, Kam in Traverse City MI.

I'm 5ft 227 and range from size 16-20. Can't wait to be in the single digits. In good health other than being morbidly obese.

Anyone active on here currently in the "process" to have surgery? Or already had surgery?

Whose your Dr? How is everything going? Insurance? Out of pocket expense? How much weight you've lost? Maintaining?

Anyone want to share?

I'm going to keep posting here.. Hopefully my experience will be helpful to someone. Get some people talking or maybe entertaining that I'm talking to myself. :)

I also post update in my profile "about me: section.. If you are looking for any details..

    Hey all-

    An update for ya!

    I am about 9 months post-op and I could not be ANY happier with my sleeve!

    I am down about 81 pounds and only 19 pounds away from my goal weight. My biggest struggles have been nutrition, as it always has been. I don't like to eat meat so it's taking some creative thinking to get in my Protein.

    I am so grateful that I was able to have this surgery!
