Tonight is the meeting about Transfer Addictions.  It's from 5:30pm til 6:30pm at Grand Health Partners in Grand Rapids.  When you walk in, they can point you in the direction of the room its being held in.

Thanks for the feedback.   I appreciate it.  I have borrowed my mom's treadmill so I can do my walking every day in recovery.   I do have a recliner and that is a great idea.

5 days and counting!

Sleeve here, Borgess Hospital, would be willing to meet up with sleevers in the Battle Creek, Marshall, Jackson, Lansing Michigan areas.  My sleeve surgery is scheduled for 1/25. 

This is a little late, but thought I'd chime in.  I had my sleeve 5/4/10 at Borgess in Kalamazoo by Dr Verseman.  Not much pain, like previous poster, my c-section was much more painful.  I did use meds as I had some back pain issues, prior to surgery, and the laying down for just the 2 days was not helpful.  I did have a cath and drain, cath was removed after recovery and drain was removed the next day.  I was off work for 4 weeks, I took the time, to get the schedule down, and some extra rest, probably could have went back to work after 2 wks.  I did go to a couple support group meetings at Borgess, but I was the only sleever there and didn't find it very helpful.  I tried to ask questions, but it was pretty much a "gab session" for those who went regularly.  I may go back again, if I find someplace for VSG'ers, the programs are so different!  I have a co-worker who had RNY,and we talked frequently before I had my surgery, but we've found things are very different.  Good Luck!

Thank you for all your wonderful thoughts.  I appreciate having the support.

A couple of people have said it sounds like I am feeling down and I just wanted you to know... I'm not.  I guess I have a dry sense of humor but I am actually smiling as I was writing the review.

Tomorrow, I am going to try a Zumba Gold class at the Roseville Recreation Center.  I don't know if I can do it, but it sounds like fun.

Incidentally, I have apparently forgotten the pin number for my ticker tape so I have been unable to update it for a while.
