I suggest the Beaumont Weight Control Center in Royal Oak. There are various support groups, lectures, cooking classes, etc.

Hi
I am from Canton and can't find a support group either. My surgeons office disbanded his due to poor participation and I haven't found another. Why don't we all plan to meet one Saturday morning and start our own group?

Oakwood
Thanks! And anyone is welcome? I thought that you had to get the surgery at Oakwood to join their support group. Thanks A lot!

Barix Clinics has a group in Ypsilanti. You might also try Henry Ford Wyandotte- I know they have a bariatric program, don't know about a group.

We have had a lot of visitors before. I am sure it won't be a big issue.
