I like that Idea!

Who in the Garden City, Canton, Westland, Dearborn, Dearborn Hgts, Livonia, and other surrounding areas would be interested in participating!.
I would be happy to act as an organizer until we got together and decided how the group wished to set things up.
PM me if you are interested! then we can figure out a day and time to get together!

I am  also a trained Obesity Help group leader and wouldn't mind helping get the ball going!

University of Michigan has CLOSED support groups for those from their program.  They are the 2nd Monday, the 3rd Saturday, and the 4th Thursday of every month.

 Excellent Dawn! I'll get your info updated on my chart. If you need any help as you begin your group just holler ... When I took over the Bay City group a couple years ago we were down to about 4 or 5 members and now we've grown to almost 60, so I'd be happy to share some of the info I've learned over the years.

Not talking about the on line OH HFH group we use to have on here. but about the one form HFH nutrionist/ psycology department. and Yes you went to the awards with Cheryl. but that didn't do it.
They are just that way!

but you made me laugh LOL!

the group is not for all of HFH bariatric patients only for the ones that had surgery at the HFH main campus on West Grand Blvd. That was the issue with them they didn't want patients from  Wyndote and other HFH locations to come to there meetings. So you need to be specific about it. or call and talk to Annette at that particular center and get permission first. I was like you and thought it would be a no big deal but the took offense to the link!

So Good Luck.

Topic: RE: Has anyone gone through the Barix Clinic in Ypsi??
Don't judge a place by one bad review.  Barix has a good reputation and the doctors only do WLS and procedures related to the surgery.  Go to their website and check for yourself.  You can also go to a consulation and meet one of the doctors.

Followup care has been good.  When I had a sudden drop in blood sugar, Dr. Schram returned my call in 3 minutes...yes I timed him.  So, go to more than one place and then judge for yourself.  Ask people who have actually been there and not  your cousin's best friend's neighbor.
