I was sleeved on 3/6/14. I have had a great experience but I know I need some support. What are you willing to pay for a personal trainer?

I was sleeved July 30, 2013. I've also had a great experience. I have excellent support from my family and these boards are great, but it would be nice to actually talk to someone who has been there. How much is the personal trainer? I can pay as long as it's not too expensive :-)

yes-does anyone know the average cost of a trainer?

Anyone know of any North Metro support groups that are open? Was sleeved at PN, but getting to St Louis Park during rush hour to make a 5:30 meeting isnt doable for me.

But I would still like to find a support group up here in the north somewhere.

If anyone can point me out somewhere that'd be awesome.

Thanks.

I think the best bet for most people would be a weekend. Usually I would say Saturday morning, but I have some unusual Saturday morning trainings a few times in May.

If we want to do during the week, I vote for Monday or Tuesday evening.

I would be interested however I do not belong to a Y, would that be a problem

I would assume so for the trainer. The Y is not too pricy if your thinking about joining a gym, plus most insurances will give a discount for going a certain number of times.

We did talk about meet for support too. No gym membership required for that one :-)

The nearest Y to me is like 30 min away! I would meet for support groups. My clinic also offers support groups as well.

Friday after 4:30 would be good. Any news on cost from the trainer?

Hello Minnesota! I was sleeved in November 2012, I am in maintenance. Had Dr Svendson at Methodist, and am so happy to have had the sleeve. I live in the north metro and am looking for others that eat like me. :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
