Hello Aimee! Congrats on your recent surgery at Barix Clinics with Dr. Kam. I'm so excited to see someone from my area who is also a Barix patient. I'm a patient, I live in Newport and I'm also a nurse here at Barix. I think I missed you during your surgical stay, I just got back from maternity leave. I hope you had a good experience. Did you know we have a monthly support group in Monroe? We meet the 3rd WED of every month. I also have organized an online email support group just for Barix patients. We have both pre and post ops and it's a support group for patients, run by patients, not by Barix. It really is nice to have experience and friends at your finger tips. Plus we all follow the Barix post op program, so you don't get that mixed info of "my surgeon says..." It really is a fun group and if you'd like to join, respond to this email and I will send you the info. You've found a new friend and fellow mommy in me! Even if you're not interested in either support group, please keep in touch with me. I'd love to hear your weightloss success and even more of those goals surpassed with each passing pound! Hugs and Blessings from your local friend & fellow mommy of 3, Jackie Hutchison in Newport
