There's a support group that meets at Barix in Ypsilanti the third Saturday of each month. I haven't been able to make it to one yet, but someday.

Hey all! I am scheduled for surgery at the barix clinic in Ypsilanti on sept 30th 2013. I would love to have a buddy or mentor that has the same time frame as me or close to it. Even if someone has had the surgery and just wants to chat, that would be great as well! I live in Somerset (by brooklyn just south of jackson).. excited and very nervous that they will find something on PAT's that will prevent me from having the surgery. Fingers crossed!

I had my surgery April 8 at Barix and had a wonderful experience! Who is your surgeon? Mine was Dr. Poplawski and he does awesome work! No complications, no trapped gas, clean incisions.

Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks Marissa! I'm happy to hear everything went ok for you. I have Dr. Taylor. I have seen first hand what great work they do there. 3 of my friends had the surgery at barix. I'm very excited and very nervous. I tend to get teary when I get nervous, I hope I dont cry at my surgery appointment! LOL!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
