I'm south of you, between Detroit and Toledo. Had my sleeve in Toledo two and a half years ago. It was the best thing ever did for myself. It's hard work, but being fat and always on a diet was harder. I'm about at goal. I've been at this weight for over a year, though I'd be happy to lose another 5-10 pounds. I'm in a size 8, so not too worried about it.

How much do you have to lose? Are you ready to do the work?

Hi there! I'm in Michigan as well, and about to get sleeved on the 18th. I am on the opposite side of the state however, and starting to get nervous the closer I get to my date.

Super excited to finally start losing some weight, though!

Hello, I am in Farmington, MI. I went through St. John Providence Weight Loss Center. Dr. Katz, at the Oakland (Madison Hgts.) location. Had the sleeve on August 26th. I have been doing very well with everything. Happy to answer any and all questions and provide any guidance I can. @@ITGeekGirl, I love GR area. Have been over for Art Prize several years now. My Brother-in-Law went to GV and lives over there. Great City!

That's my surgeon as well I'm waiting on my date now

@@skyjones - You are having Dr. Katz also? Have you been to any of the support group meetings at the education center by the hospital in Madison Heights? If not, I would strongly recommend attending. They are the first monday of every month, from 6pm till 7:30pm. Everyone there is so supportive and helpful.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
