Support Group Battle Creek
Hi All,
We live in Battle Creek, Mark is almost five months out with a new sleeve and I am about two and a half weeks with a new pouch. We both had surgery in Muskegon...Dr. Brian Gluck...However, we would like to know of a support group that is closer to us. If anyone knows of anything closer could you let us know.
Thanks so much!
Shannon

I go to a monthly support group meeting on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at the Borgess Health and Fitness Center on Gull Road, just east of Borgess Hospital. It is usually a small group, about 5-8 people. It runs from 6:30pm till about 8pm unless there is not much discussion going on. It's a good group, the leader is a bariatric surgery nurse, so he is very familiar with the preocedure and medical side of things. You should check it out!
I've gone to that same BHFC support group, on Saturday morning (3rd Saturday of the month). The programs are the same on week night as on the Saturday morning.
The nurse that leads the group is Ben Blades
Heres the link and there is a schedule in there too. http://www.borgess.com/Default.aspx?pId=63
There is also a support group at Bronson
Haven't heard of anything in BC, let me know if you do.
