Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Where are all the Michigan people at??



Recommended Posts

Those of you in Jackson, near Jackson, etc... There's a support group in Brooklyn, MI but it's not specific to Bandsters. It's for all Bariatric patients I believe.

We could certainly start one though. I'm about 30 miles from Jackson. I'm about 10 miles south of Chelsea, in a town called Manchester.

Where would a central location for all of us be?

I am about the same distance from Chelsea as you are except I'm north, in gregory. Maybe we can get together in Chelsea some time. My e-mail is my user name at Yahoo.com. Feel free to e-mail me any time. Any one else too, who would like to meet up.

I used to work in Manchester (when you were about 1 year old:biggrin:) and lived in Brooklyn. I live all the way over in Coldwater now.:smile2:

Anyone over here near Coldwater?

Bob, I lived in Coldwater for two years. I was not happy there... lol...

BBK, Grass Lake would work for me. How about you Kirajh? Grass Lake is about a 20-25 minute drive for me. Where in Grass Lake would you suggest, BBK? I'm not too familiar with the area.

I live in Tecumseh and would also like to meet with some fellow banders in the area. Meeting in Chelsea or Grass Lake works fine for me. Just let me know when and where.

Thanks. Leah

I'm from Michigan. My boyfriend was banded November 10, 2006 by Dr. Deol. He's lost about eighty pounds, but is now "stuck" and can't loose anymore weight. He is at his maximum fill of 10cc's. He can't get anymore fills or he will be totally restricted. The band is still in place. He's frustrated as well as I am. Has anyone had a road block like this?

There is a cardinal rule for weight loss. "calorie counting" For a woman

its 1200 to loose, 1500 to maintain, and 1800 to gain. He should check with his Dr., or go on line and do some research in calorie counting for men. This will help, I can't say how much,,, I'm not a DR..

I try to stay between 700-900 myself. It still takes time. Good Luck.

Julia thanks! You beet me to it. I'll be there. Have you been to the 50 and over gang. I got on about 5 days ago. This site jumps. I've not seen one jump like that before. They even have step by step instructions on how to get your Ticker up. Finally got mine up. Took me a long time, but it.s done. See you at the meeting. What time?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
