I just put the whole county down because of the three main WLS programs and hospitals in this area. Plus I am a patient and work for St. John Health System.

Anyone out t there want to train for some of these marathons? Walking, recipe swap, Bariatric cook night, we can set up a meeting place for all to attend and maybe ask local business, doctors, and other for support.

I'm getting ready to have my surgery on May 14, 2015 and I'm so excited and nervous!! I'm getting my procedure done at St Mary Mercy Livonia and I can't wait to start my journey. I just keep looking at the progress pictures praying that my results are similar :)

I love Dr. Roberts and his staff. My only regret is that I did not do it sooner. Which surgery are you having? I am so happy for you and the journey for change you have decided to take. I am 7 months in and am nearly 70#'s down and feel amazing.

      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.
