I'm a pre-op from Rockford, and I'd be interested.
Topic: RE: Good deal on BODY FORTRESS whey protein powder
that is a good deal. I use Body Fortress because of the price. I don't find a significant difference in flavor between Body Fortress and the other more expensive brands.
Here is my go to smoothie.
1 scoop Strawberry flavored Body Fortress Protein powder.
2 or 3 frozen strawberries
6 to 8 oz skim milk
1 pack of Splenda.
Blend until smooth.
This is pretty basic, but I find it helps me with my evening hunger.

Topic: RE: Mid west Michigan/Grand Health Partners "Alumni" - post here!
I am just starting my journey. I have attended the seminar at GHP. I have my first appt. with Dr. White on Feb. 2nd, and I meet with Dr. Kemmeter and Scott (the behaviorist) on Feb. 6th.
I love hearing all the positive comments about Dr. Kemmeter and GHP. I am so looking forward to being a "loser"!
I am concerned that my insurance is going to make me do 6 months of medically supervised weight loss. This is one of their criteria. I was part of St. Mary's Weigh to Wellness program for over a year, but it has been a year ago since I stopped going there. Some say that if your BMI is over 50 that they will sometimes waive that 6 months. Well, my BMI is 54 (I think)so I hope there is some truth to that statement.
I do have a question regarding Post Op and the support groups, nutritionist, exercise physiologist, etc.... What is the costs that are involved with those visits?
I really like this website. It very encouraging to see everyone's successes. Congratulations to you all!
Thanks,
LoriBest wishes Lori!
You will love Dr. K. He is AWESOME!
Scott is cool too and I really like the P.A. Matt as well.
You will find out all the peticulars at GHP.
They are very professional and helpful.
I had to do the 6 month thing. Not so bad.
It took me 1 yr. after I decided I wanted to have WLS with waiting on my insurance co. to cover Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomys and the 6 month
med. supervised diet to actual surgery. That was fine with me because it gave me plenty of time to research WLS and come to a place of 100%peace with what I was hoping to do.
Re. the 6 month diet...
all I had to do is get weighed monthy at my Primary Care doc's office
by a nurse which was free and have a consult with my doc the first month
of the process. I had to show 6 months of medical supervised/documented
weight loss failure. That was easy! My doc did send
me notes or have a nurse call me recommending more dieting and exercising tips periodically because I wasn't losing (on purpose) but he had
to show he was over-seeing the process throughout the 6 months.
Once I completed that requirement and my doc recommended me for WLS, GHP simply submitting my request for surgery and it was paid for in full.
The GHP pre-op coordinator does the submitting for surgery for you.
Where do you live?
Feel free to PM me anytime.
Keep in touch!
