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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
