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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
