Hi,

I don't know where everyone is, since I am new to the forum, just discovered it.

By way of introction, I had my surgery 3/2/2011, and am very happy with it. I am about half way to my goal, but past the "honeymoon" so my weight loss has slowed to about  1-2 lbs a week.

Personal info; married for 37 years with 2 daughers, the oldest is married and independant, and our youngest just started college, so we just became empty nesters.

BTW, we are neighbors, we live in Brighton.

Hope enverthing is going good for you and everbody on the forum.

I am not a huge social network guy, but now that I know about this forum, I will check in.

Since you are in Grand Rapids, you should check out www.grandhealthpartners.com .  All of the surgeons there are experienced & vetted.

The only medicaid they accept is Priority Health Medicaid.

The DS stands for Duodenal Switch.  Please check out www.dsfacts.com for more information about this surgery.

Just wondering where everyone is and how everyone is doing?  

I know for me I am holding steady on my weight finally, since quitting smoking and have lost some more again!!!!  Loving the peace and quiet with the kids back to school and maybe I can even start getting some workouts in now that they are gone all day.  Gonna get that Wii Fit out and get moving.

 

What do you do to move and lose?

 

HUGS to ALL,

 

 

wow-thank you for posting this. It saves other people the trouble that you went through. I am sorry you went through that. They should have been clear with you on that one.

I am currently working with them because they do accept straight medicaid but they told me that the first step would be talking to a physcholoist to be cleared before going any further so I guess I am working on that now... maybe i should be calling them about any shrink they accept before I start paying someone to do the test on me lol.

thank you again

amy
