Anyone here from Michigan?



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I am new on here and was wondering if I could find anyone who might become a friend close by? I'm in Brighton, Michigan.

Hi! I'm in Jackson. I'm still looking at options and figuring out what I want to do. I've satisfied the supervised weight loss program requirement for insurance, so I still have some requirements to do along with meetings for diet, psych and exercise. I'm going through Sparrow Hospital in Lansing.

Hi! My name is Tracy. I just moved to Livonia from Whitmore Lake (I know Brighton very well!)

I have my final weigh in on 8/19 then my surgeon can submit to insurance for approval! It feels like forever somedays and so fast others.

My surgeon is Dr. Weiner at Huron Valley- Siani in Commerce Mi. I found Dr. Weiner through YouTube and was so excited to see he was close enough for me to make an appointment. He is wonderful.

How far along through the process are you? Which surgeon/Hospital?

I'm Connie from Oakland county. My sleeve date is Aug 31st at Huron Valley Hospital.

cslove Who is your surgeon?

You look familiar in your profile pic but it is so small I can't be sure. Did you have your pre-op meeting last week Tuesday at 4?

Yes, it's becoming real to me. I just received an email that the Dr is calling me in something to the pharmacy. My PCP clearance appt is tomorrow. I am also starting my preop diet tomorrow. Then Aug 31 will be here.????????

Hi everyone. I just had my bypass at St. Marys in Saginaw. Just got home about an hour ago, and I'm glad to be in my own chair watching some Tivo and sipping some Water and New Whey. It's good to see so many from Michigan on the boards.

      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.
