Greetings! I'll be sleeved April 17th in Grand Haven. Starting the pre-op diet on the 3rd. 312# now with a goal of 180# My nervousness has turned into total optimism.

I have Dr. Foote as well and soooo stoked!!! They wanted to get me in on April 17th but i wouldnt have been able to make it to the 1st preop appointment on the 3rd so i took the next available date

Just got my date, May 6th in Grand Rapids. I wish it was a little sooner but that can't be helped. On a 1200 cal preop diet. I start my 800 on April 17. I sorta feel that will be easier for me. Only because its an all-or-nothing type thing. If I have no options,making the right one will be easy. Super excited and anxious.

Any of you fellow MI folks deal with Priority Health insurance? I am super nervous about mine going through. Just kinda wondered how diff they were. Dr Footes office said I CANNOT drop below 40 bmi with no comorb. but that gives me like 5 pounds to play with., I am worried they are going to see me not lose ANY weight during 6 months and deny me. Ugh I am being vigilant and attending every visit. I meet with surgeon this month for more info

St. Mary's staff was great and the top floor walking track was a great perk! I spent a lot of time up there!
