Michigan Local Support Group

Hey everyone!

My name is Rachel and I am going to be in charge of the local group for MI. Right now I am trying to figure out what city has the most interest to determine where to meet. If anyone has any ideas of places or times that would work best, please let me know because I will take feedback in order to determine the best time and place to meet. Can't wait to meet everyone! Please follow this forum for future dates, times and location. Please provide some feedback on what works best. Thank you!!

Yes there are many support groups throughout the state, however the one I'm looking to start is based from Bariatric Pal. I live in Lansing but I didn't have my surgery in the state. It's more of a thing to connect outside a surgeons office and have support from local people.

OH i misunderstood what you were trying to do :) i have no support besides this page. i had a girl that had surgery around the same time as i did. i would send her encouragement but never really got anything out of the situation. When i stopped contacting her the relationship ended. Would be nice to have someone(s) who understands what im going thro :)

Hey Everyone,

It's been a while since I have been on here. I am still looking at places to have a group. I think I have some great content for meetings and I think it would be great if some of us could get together for general support and meet ups. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

Im in the Detroit metro area and love would a support group. Beaumont has one but if you didnt get your surgery done there you have to pay to go to the support groups.

I'm still here in Haslett. My husband is pre-op too. I've been chatting with others here but would like a support group too.

Hi all - I am still pre-op and am looking for a support group in Michigan. I live in Saginaw but would be willing to travel an hour or two.
