Clutter Diet Tip:Use clear shoe organizer pockets on the backs
of doors to store small toys, hair care items, tools, etc.
Theyre great for more than shoes!

Call and start saving today!
FACT: Water softeners are the only household appliances that can
actually SAVE you money by using it! Soft water requires less
detergent to clean well. And costly appliances like your dishwasher
and hot water heater last longer because theres less mineral build
up, thanks to soft water.

To learn more about our free bariatric seminars, call
574-523-3264 or toll free at 855-874-3BMI.
People like to talk about what you lose with bariatric surgery,
which is of course the weight. But no one ever
talks about what they gain, which is life. If youve had trouble
losing weight and think bariatric surgery is right
for you, we encourage you to learn more about the Elkhart
General Hospital Bariatric & Metabolic Institute.
Its the only program in the region with surgeons who are
fellowship trained in bariatric surgery.
