Any Northern Michigan Sleeves?



Recommended Posts

I had a gastric sleeve December 15th and would like to know if anyone in the Petoskey area wants to be buddies?

I feel good, get tired easily still, but I expected that. Are you from Northern Michigan?

Yes, the Soo. I am glad to hear you got through the surgery. Did you have much pain? When you say tired, are you talking napping all day or up but not doing much activity?

I am happy to see other people from Michigan on here! When I mentioned I was tired, I was just content with laying low, and not really doing anything. It was a change for me. I typically work 55-60 hours a week, and am used to running around. I think my body was telling me to relax and heal. I had 3 weeks off from work and just returned this past Monday. I have gotten my energy back and feel even better than I did before the surgery!

Good luck on the approval and the surgeries!

Glad to hear you are doing better. Did you get your surgery done in Petoskey? I used to live there as teen.

I had mine done in Saginaw. Not northern Michigan more like mid Michigan. I am 5'9 and met my goal five months post op. I love my sleeve. It has changed my life. Good luck to you ladies, hopefully these pics will inspire you.post-221807-14245715288775_thumb.jpg

Hi everyone-

I am from the Grand Rapids area. I just went to my seminar and found out from my insurance will not require me to attend a 6 month medical weight loss program. I am going to grand health partners for my surgery. I am awaiting for my first appointment.

@@Kelly1223 that's where I had my sleeve done in December! You're in good hands.

Hey fellow Michiganians!

I'm a little south of you in Big Rapids, which is an hour north of Grand Rapids and about an hour south of Traverse, but I'd love to be your buddy.

If you are on myfitnesspal, feel free to add me so I can be your cheerleader.

It's ChrisJane180

Best of luck on your journey!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
