Share Your Favorite Recipe!

Over the years we’ve watched our patients enjoy great success after changing their lifestyle through healthy eating and exercise. Having a collection of healthy recipes can make all the difference on your journey. The Midwest Institute of Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery™ is collecting recipes from our patients to develop a cookbook to share.

If you have a healthy recipe that you would like featured, please bring it along to one of your office visits, to a support group meeting or email to Stephanie.Sokolowski@wfhc.org. Thank you in advance for helping us develop a healthy cookbook filled with healthy and delicious options!
