I live in Ann Arbor- I am a nurse at St. Joes. ????

My surgeon is Dr. Weiner in Commerce TWP- he runs Michigan Weight Management Institute. He performs surgery at Huron Valley Sinai.

It is a bit far but I love Dr. Weiner and his nutrition philosophy after surgery- veggies first, whole foods.

I have three more months of my supervised diet left.... I seems to be going fast now. ????

I am from metro Detroit. I had RNY surgery on 3/21 with Dr. Weiner out of Huron Valley Hospital. I was also over 50 BMI, so 6 month diet was waived. It was 6 weeks from first visit on Feb 9th until surgery on March 21st.

I have been extremely happy with Dr Weiner. I'm down a total of 90 lbs. 46 lbs in the 6 weeks prior to surgery and 44 lbs in the 8 weeks since surgery.

I'm from the Detroit area. My surgery is scheduled for June 22nd with Dr Hawasli. First appointment was April 25th. Got my insurance approval last week. Seems to be a busy surgeon so that's why we have to wait 6 weeks to get to surgery. Since my BMI is over 50, the supervised diet requirement is waived.

Hi- I live in Rockwood MI and had my surgery at Royal Oak Beaumont on March 25th. Great experience however, the emotional/physiological effects were too much for me and I had to take 8 weeks off instead of 2. I'm glad I did tho, I had to get this right and put me first. Thank gosh I saved up several months of sick time. I go back to work on 5/23. Good luck to you, it's so worth it!

I'm in Southern Indiana right now and having my surgery here but hopefully moving to Muskegon before the fall. These long distance relationships are for the birds!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
