I hope that you will be able I attend some support groups post op. I know they're offered thru dr Glucks office in Ludington.

Yes, I'd like to make it happen--whether through Dr Gs office or online--but I'm in Lansing, unfortunately. Fortunately, though, I think there are some around here, too.

I am beside myself with excitement and anticipation. My VSG is scheduled for 9/1 with Dr Schram at Blodgett Hospital. I had my "Final Decision" appointment today, and he had an opening for the 1st so I took it! Met with the NUT and got on the pre op diet on the spot. Pre op appointment is Monday. I am so excited for the next step on the journey!

That's awesome, congrats! Nice when things fall together like that ????

Had my sleeve done August 18 in Grand Rapids at Blodget by Dr. Jon Schram. If anyone is reading this who has not had the surgery but is thinking about it I highly recommend him.

The surgery was two days ago, and so far, so good. Schram is a good guy, and the staff here at Blodgett has been great. Going home today. We'll see how that goes.

Hi michigan sleevers!

I go on Thursday 12/10/15 for my consult, nutrition class and psych evaluation. I can't wait! I'm seeing dr. Brian Gluck at life without limits in Muskegon mi.

Anyone worked with him? I have BCBS of Michigan and they seem all on board for it from when I call and speak with them but I'm so scared I won't get passed thru!

I'm 5'4" 302lbs. My BMI is 51.83 as of right now.

Per the insurance company I won't be required to do the 6 month medically monitored diet, but I'm so scared that rug is going to be pulled! I'm so ready to start taking better care of myself and get the sleeve done. I'm so ready to get myself healthy for my kids.

I had my surgery done by Dr Gluck and he's amazing! Surgery went great and recovery was very smooth (aside from the usual pain).

      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.
