Hi guys,

I was banded a week ago today. I will begin walking at the Summit place mall on next Monday. If anyone lives in the Pontiac/Waterford area I would like to hear from you. I am trying to start a morning walking group.

Thanks, M yess

M Yess, If you would consider walking after 3PM I would love to go with you. I live in Davisburg. However I may need to wait 3 more weeks as I have a stress fx on my left foot. Too much walking is not good for it at this time.

Hi, this is my first post. I live in White Lake, I had the band put on mid May. I've only lost 30 lbs. I need to get off my butt and excercise.

Let me know when you go to Summit Mall, (is there anything left there?)

Hi,

My name is Joyce. I got the band June 25, about a month after you. Lost about 10 pounds so far. I love to walk outside in the fresh air so the Summit Mall is not appealing to me, perhaps when it is colder it will. I live in Twin Lakes Sub. It is south of M59 and just east of Walmart/HomeDepot between Fisk Rd. and Pontiac Lake Rd. My sub offers a wonderful 2.10 mile walk that I do daily. It takes about 45 minutes to walk all away around the lake, all paved. If you would like to join me give me a call. 248-698-9567. I am a stay at home mom with my youngest who just started the 10th grade last week.

looking forward to hearing from you

Joyce Taylor

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
