I should say WLS patients, I'm totally not an RNY snob.

Hi Everyone! I had RNY in August, and I'm working my plan. I was wondering if anyone in the Metro Detroit area would like to start a meeting of some sort as support? I'm seeing a therapist, and I've gone to an over-eaters anonymous meeting, but I'm looking for a monthly get together with other RNY patients. We could meet somewhere public, like a mall or a restaurant that serves healthy food. I'd love to do it on a regular basis.
If anyone is interested, I'm on the west side suburbs near Ann Arbor, but I'd be willing to go most anywhere in the Metro Area.

I'm in the Ann Arbor area, and I'm going to start with Overeaters Anonymous next week. I'll post again if I think it's a good fit for me.

Trying to find any support groups around the state? I think I have seen some for over in the Grand Rapids area but am hoping to find one or more over on the other side of the state. Would rather not have to join WW just for the support meetings. Thanks in advance.
I am not sure what the "back on track" program you are talking about is? I don't want to spend any more money on diet programs. I think we all know or at least can figure out what we need to do, but it's the support we can get from these programs that is vital. That is why I plan on using this site as much as possible now! I know it does not get very much traffic anymore for some reason, but maybe if we all start to post just even once a day traffic will start back up :D We are all here because of the same thing and want the same thing! How great is it that we have that in common and can support each other?
I absolutely agree with Grand Health Partners. I love both Dr Baker and Dr Kemmeter. They saved my life after another surgeon messed me up!
Hi I am new to this phase of the weight loss journey. I am anxious, excited, terrified and panicked all at once right now. I am starting Beaumont's Weight Control diet tomorrow. I am trying so hard not to set myself up to fail. Im terrified of sugery and really want the diet to work. I am trying not to feed into the negative things some have said, but it just scares me more. My husband and I are doing this together which will gelp with support but, I am also afraid the price is going to get out of hand. Any positive feedback would greatly appreciated. Either way I need help. I want to be healthy and a mother and losing this weight is the only way.
Hi, I had a hernia repair almost 7 years ago and now get where my stomach pinches and I have to stand up and let the mesh move. They may do them different now. My RNY surgeon also did my hernia repair. Wish you well. Have a good weekend.

Kalamazoo also has Borgess - you can check out their weight loss program and talk to one of the Drs there.
