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.

      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.
