Topic: Do you know.......

Do you know......our founder, Eric Klein, created ObesityHelp back in 1998 and we've been the source of information, support and education for bariatrics since that time.

Do you know.....that ObesityHelp organized and hosted the first ever National Conference for pre-ops, post-ops, and individuals considering weight loss surgery?

After all the appointments were completed and test results given to Dr. Clark the only thing left to do was schedule the appt. I finished everything in July. My surgery is next WEEK. Dr Clarks enthusiasm is a plus. I'm excited.

Heidi, I know its been awhile since you posted this, but I havent been on Obesity Help lately. The support group that meets at FMH is made up of patients of Dr. Todds, but we are not exclusive to only his patients. we have had many people who have had other doctors. you are more than welcome to join our meetings. we are not sponsered by Dr Todd or any other dr. we are just a bunch of patients who want to help each other and other weight loss patients. We meet on the second Wednesday of the month at 6:00 in the conference room at the Cancer Treatment Center at FMH. we look forward to meeting you.

Andrew

Topic: Fairbanks WLS Support Groups?
Hi,

It looks like there are two support groups right now in Fairbanks. One is for Dr. Todd's patients and the other is for Dr. Ellner's patients. Is there a group for other WLS patients? My husband works for FMH and I was only allowed to go to Banner's clinic in AZ. Dr. T and Dr. E's diets are different and it gets me off track.

Thanks,
Heidi

Topic: RE: New Fairbanks Support Group

if you havent had any problems then there is no reason to see a specialist, We have many military people in our support group and no one has said anything about being in the EFMP program so I dont believe it will be an issue. there should be no reason you couldnt PCS to Alaska.
