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!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
