City: Cincinnati (West Chester) State: Ohio |  Band Buddy wanted
Hello everyone 
I am looking for a "band buddy". I am a female w/ PCOS, 28 yrs old (29 in august 08). I am 5'10" and weigh 360 lbs. I wear a size 24/26. I currently live in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. I would like to be banded in September 2008. I am currently attending seminars about Lap Band to find the best fit for me. I have been thinking about get the Lap band for almost 5 yrs now.
If anyone has any similarities and are going to be banded around the same time, drop me a line.

State: Oregon | ohiorose: I'm sure some Bandster will contact you. In the meantime, pick a forum to list your thread on. It isn't necessary to multiple post and I'll have to trim the list down a bit.
Cheers and good luck on your journey.

| Welcome! I also have PCOS. I was banded on April 22, and it's the best thing I've done! I've been thinking about it for almost 2 years, and finally made up my mind to do it. Thank God my insurance paid for it, I guess I had enough co-morbities. I've lost 26 lbs in about 5 weeks. The first week is hard, just keep positive and you'll do great. This site it great for any questions you have, it's helped me!!! | |

State: OH | Hi Janelle! Welcome!
I live in Ohio too...much more north than you though! I know there are several on here from your area if you're looking for someone in person. Your doctor's office also may have a support group where you can meet others in your same place/situation.
Otherwise, you've got all of us! You may want to check out the 'Introductions' thread to find other new people in the beginning phases. Feel free to ask questions in the forums. Most are very helpful and willing to chat! I learned so much from this site and am very grateful for the people who are willing to share their experiences!
Good luck!

State: OH | Hi Janelle,
No, I'm in Findlay!
Yes, I got banded a month ago. I was losing weight pretty well there right away, but now I'm stuck. I get my first fill on Friday though!
Are you finding your way around here okay?

State: OH | I tried the chat a few times, but I'm usually lost in there. You enter during conversations already in progress, so you have to read really fast and try to catch up. I don't care for it so far. Maybe an organized chat with a specific topic I'd like better.
I'm glad you love Cincinnati though! ;0)

City: Melbourne State: Victoria | Hi RoseJanelle!
I was having to double check your message to make sure that I hadn't written it. I am from Melbourne Australia and have just recently decided to have lap band surgery. I am booked in for 1 July 08. It has taken me 2 years to get the courage to see my doctor about it. After balling my eyes out he was so sweet and recommended a great surgeon.
I am turning 30 in August so I can't think of anything better I could do for myself. It is my chance to start enter my 30's with a spring in my step.
I am 175cm tall and weigh a 162kg (I was bright red when my surgeon weighed me). I think it converts to 356lb.
I have had a sleep test done and find out those results on Friday morning. This is to detect whether I have sleep apnoea. This scariest part for me it doing the Optifast diet 2 weeks before surgery. Yuck!
I am only new to this blog thing but if you have any questions, please let me know.
Lauren. | |

City: Cincinnati (West Chester) State: Ohio | Yes, we do have much in common. I wish you luck. I just contacted our insurance and they do not cover anything on elective surgeries, esp for spouses. We do have the money saved yet and can not take out a loan right now...well, will not..until we have cleaned up some credit card debt. So, I have been working a lot to do that.
