Topic: RE: Blue Cross 6 month diet requirement

Hi StacyT, I have BCBC/MESSA and I am not sure if they will reject your request for gaining a pound, but my bariatric doctor said that I should absolutely not gain anything during my 6 months pre-op. That may be coming from BCBC...

Topic: RE: Hi I just started this group

Hi Sherry, 

I am sorry you are going through this. I too had Dr Foote and had the sleeve done. I don't think they prepare yourself for the future. 

It's a disease that we have to deal with everyday. I have decided to do the 5 day pouch test. Have you tried that? It retrains your pouch and your mind. 

today is only day one and I am coming out of my skin but won't give up. Hang in there

Topic: Need support group

Hi There,

I moved to the Lansing area several months ago, and realize I need some face to face support.  Are there any support groups in my area?  Thanks.

Topic: RE: Help Finding a Genesys Bariatric Surgeon that takes Health plus of Michigan

Genesys does not provide bariatric surgery.  You have to go to Mclaren or Hurley.  If you call either one, they will let you know what surgeons take Health Plus (I think most/all of them do).

Topic: Has anyone had their VSG done by Dr. Gary Katz? How did everything go?

I am seriously considering the VSG and would have it done by Dr. Katz. I really liked his personality and how he answered all of my questions. I just wondered if anyone had him and what their thoughts are? Thanks!

Cheryl
