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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
