City: Sacramento State: CA |  Hi From Sacramento, CA
Hello Everyone,
I was searching the net for support groups with members who have had or will have the band surgery. I have still a few more steps to complete, but I am very close to getting that "date". My coordinator mentioned it looks like it might be by the end of next month.
I look forward to all the topics and discussions with all of you, and I hope I can gain some valuable insight on what to look forward to.
THANKS FOR THIS SITE!! :whoo:

City: Sacramento State: CA | Thank you!
I'm so glad to be here!
Sometimes, with stress and other factors this journey has been difficult to say the least. I have looked at some of the before/after pictures and I have to say - what an energy booster for me!
Look forward to all the communication.
:D

HI there. I live in Gilroy. I've been banded 15 months and I've lost just over 60 lbs. You will love your band. Good luck.

Hi , I am from the sacramento area also ( Citrus Heights) and I was banded @ Stanford in 05 , I am now a patient of Koura ( thank God) , I really like him and his staff.
We also have an online , small support group called Sacramento_Valley_Bandsters@yahoogroups.com we usually meet once a month for a visit, we have about 70 or so online and we are from all different doctors .
I am not used to LBT board and really don't know how to use it very well , I am hoping it becomes easier!!! I am used to Obesity Help or the format on Yahoo........Hope I can figure this site out!!

Donna | Thanks Donna, I will check it out! You're right about Dr. Koura - he and the staff are really great! It's nice to see some people in my back yard here!! :biggrin1:
I don't really have a problem with this format, as I have been posting on another board since 2002 that is very similar.
I have seen some Yahoo groups too, which is a little different - but I did notice too that when people keep quoting each other the thread can get really ugly (super long).
