I'm south of you, between Detroit and Toledo. Had my sleeve in Toledo two and a half years ago. It was the best thing ever did for myself. It's hard work, but being fat and always on a diet was harder. I'm about at goal. I've been at this weight for over a year, though I'd be happy to lose another 5-10 pounds. I'm in a size 8, so not too worried about it.

How much do you have to lose? Are you ready to do the work?

Hi there! I'm in Michigan as well, and about to get sleeved on the 18th. I am on the opposite side of the state however, and starting to get nervous the closer I get to my date.

Super excited to finally start losing some weight, though!

Hello, I am in Farmington, MI. I went through St. John Providence Weight Loss Center. Dr. Katz, at the Oakland (Madison Hgts.) location. Had the sleeve on August 26th. I have been doing very well with everything. Happy to answer any and all questions and provide any guidance I can. @@ITGeekGirl, I love GR area. Have been over for Art Prize several years now. My Brother-in-Law went to GV and lives over there. Great City!

That's my surgeon as well I'm waiting on my date now

@@skyjones - You are having Dr. Katz also? Have you been to any of the support group meetings at the education center by the hospital in Madison Heights? If not, I would strongly recommend attending. They are the first monday of every month, from 6pm till 7:30pm. Everyone there is so supportive and helpful.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
