@@sassysleeved hey girl, I'm doing good. Some days are better than others in terms of meeting my Protein and Fluid goals but I'll keep working at it.

I've had no issues really, just learning to work with the sleeve I have to remember to slow down. I get that lump in my throat feeling sometimes usually when i haven't eaten in awhile.

I'm now 6 weeks post op I'm down 29 lbs, I have an appt Monday so im hoping for another 1-2 lbs for an even 30. I started regular foods yesterday so I'm happy!

I'm glad to see the Michigan board still going strong I'll be here more often. How are you doing?

Hello!

I'm still working my way through the process...... I'll be having my surgery at Henry Ford Hospital with Dr. Carlin. I've completed my blood work, psych evaluation, lost the weight to meet surgeon's goal, met with my surgeon, surgical clearance testing done. I already have the insurance approval. I only need at this point to meet with the GI doctor and get an EGD done. My surgeon said I didn't need to meet with him again before surgery and that I could see one of the nurses to go over everything because I'm on track with everything else. So..... Just waiting.

Yes I'm glad the MI board is active. Let's keep it that way! I have hopefully my last weigh in with Beaumont on 8/24. I was approved to meet with the surgeon so that's on 8/29. If all goes well my surgery should be at the end of September!

Had my 1st appt with the Dr. at Beaumont in Rochester last Friday. She said she expedited me seeing the psych dr & to get the results so hopefully I can have surgery Possibly October, if not, November. Really nice office staff. I came in with clearance from my primary care Dr & from my cardolilogist as well as previous testing I've had done. Also, 4 of my family members have had this surgery so I told her I've been ready to have this done & with Medicare you don't have to have the 6 month weight loss under a physician so with all that said she expedited my Psych appt & the results to get from those to her as that is what takes the longest she said.

Hi ladies, I had my sleeve at RO Beaumont with Dr. Krause on March 25, 2016. It's been a little over 12 weeks and I'm down from 215 to 164. I feel great but the mental part of this journey is NO JOKE. I still struggle with the "loss of my coping mechanism"- food. My relationship with food has totally changed (it had to). It's no longer all that fun to eat, it's more of a necessity to fuel my body and brain. Good luck to all of you! That's funny what you say about Rachel- I met her for the first time last month and when she asked me my goal weight, I said 145 (I'm 5"3") and she said, " that's way too low". That's the first time anyone on the ROB team ever said that to me. Anyway, I'm doing me and losing what my body allows, I'm not focusing on a number or what she said. also I went thru the St. Clare Shores Beaumont team for my 6 month diet/nutrition appts. It was closer to my work and easier to go straight there after. I went to RO w/ Krause because that's who a coworker went with and he was pleased. I'm very happy with Dr Krause.

Congratulations on your success

Hi Everyone!

Im scheduled for the sleeve September 23rd with Dr. Hawasli. I feel comfortable with him as my surgeon but I am self pay so he is performing the surgery at the Dearborn Surgery Center to keep the cost down. He brings is own surgery team with him there. Anyone have any experiences here?

It was great! I really liked him. Very easy to talk to. The 31st was my original appointment with Dr. Carlin but there was a cancellation and since I was done with the pre req stuff they asked if I wanted it. My friend and coworker had Dr. Genaw years ago. She said he was awesome! Funny and so down to earth. Did you write your letter of intent? How about your food journal? I have an appointment with the GI Dr. on the 30th. I hope I can get the EGD done soon. I feel like that's what's slowing me down.

I had Dr Hawasli and my surgery went very smooth and I have had zero complications. I had my surgery done at St John so I'm not familiar with Dearborn surgery center.

@@Ladyt1021 I'm just north of GR. Who was your surgeon? My sleeve is tomorrow!!! How are you doing?

Hey everybody

I just had my first appt yesterday. starting weight will be 298.9 I am 5'2. I'm going through sparrow weight management out of lansing.

I found out that I do have moderate sleep apnea so will have to be fitted for a cpap.

my insurance doesn't require any supervised weight-loss..but sparrow does require from start to finish to lose 20 lbs.

my preop diet I have to lose 10 of those lbs. once I get my classes all done and the testing they said I should be able to have my surgery in 2 months.

I went for labs and chest xray and Monday is when I start with my appt.

super excited to get this rolling.
