I have him also! I love him. My surgery is Tuesday!

 I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Gluck and his team. The only negative so far with 'them' would be the distance ( I am in the Port Huron area). Dr. Gluck keeps each of his patients on the same program no matter which surgery you have. Two weeks prior to surgery you are on a liquid diet, followed by 3 weeks on liquids after surgery. Then you begin a 5 week soft food phase. I am currently on the last week of that phase. I orignally had about 80 pounds to lose so not as much as most. I have to this date lost 31 pounds. When I hear it that way I feel pretty good about it, but actually since starting the soft food phase I have only lost on average 1 pound per every 2 weeks. To me that seems crazy low!! Even Dr.Gluck was surprised at how slow I am losing :-(  He says it may be due to the fact I have so little to lose and suggested I up my work out routine and increase the protein intake. Both of which I did 2 weeks ago and so far no difference. I speak with my NUT this Thursday and am hoping she may have some suggestions on what to do to increase the rate of losing. The surgery itself was very easy, little to no pain, never took a pain medicine and was doing laps in the halls of surgery no problem at all soon as I woke up. The cost of the surgery COMPLETE was $7,000 since insurance does not cover the surgery at this time. If there are any specific questions you have please feel free to ask you can write me here or by email at [email protected]

im from marcellus but chose to drive to muskegun to Dr. gluck any one else have him as a doctor.

Still here, still around, check the board regularly, not much activity around here though.... So sad about that.... I am doing great though... holding my weight steady, all blood work comes back good, even though I am not doing well on keeping up with vitamins, supplements and protein drinks.... Just hope that that keeps up because i forget that stuff ALL the time....

Have had some other health issues unrelated to WLS, but am doing well now....

Hope you are doing good, haven't heard from you in a long time....

 

HUGS to YOU,

 

E Saenz you might want to consider going to Mexico for WLS if you have to pay out of pocket.  I've read quite a few good reports on some of the surgeons and facilities.

Thanks Matt...I would start a group if there was enough interest. If anybody is on the NE or NW side of GR or in north Kent or surrounding areas and would like to get monthy support group going please let me know!
