Hey y'all... where did everyone go? When I first began coming to this website there were a ton of folks on here talking about the world of banding... not now. Have you all gone to a new website? Please let me know.. I'm lonely!!

We're still here! The most active seems to be the Miles/Schmitt thread, and you don't have to be a patient of theirs to hang around! It seems there were a group of us that were all banded at the same time and a new group is coming up in the next month or so, so it should get livlier:biggrin2:

I am hanging out waiting for my surgery date! I am really excited! I have a nutrition class on Wednesday (8/6) and the doctor's office should submit everything to Tricare either Tuesday or Wednesday. I am so ready to do something for me. With a special needs child and homeschooling both of my children, I rarely do anything for me. Keep posting! I am reading.

Hey there!
I am also waiting on my surgery date. I go tomorrow for my EGD and then I have the support group meeting on (8/16) then my nutrition class! I'm getting excited! Good luck...let us know if Tricare approves you!

Hey... I haven't posted in a month, it seems. I didn't realize it had been that long. The only other place I've been is sparkpeople.com which is where I log my food and exercise. It's just been really,, really busy.

I am in Auburn. It has been almost a year for me. I got into a bathing suit for the first time two days ago. It was so weird! I did not look like anybody that anybody would even notice!!! I was always the one people would look at and be glad they were not me!!! I go for my third fill next month in Atlanta on the 13th. I have been loosing very slowly but I don't care. I am so happy.
WAR EAGLE!!!

I am in Tuscaloosa and was banded in March. Have had one fill so far. I have lost about 40 pounds.

Have you had your surgery yet?

That is wonderful to hear! That gives me hope that maybe if I can get a September/October surgery date that I will loose some before Christmas! That would be wonderful!

I am still here. I am from Hartselle. I have lost 44 lbs in just over 6 months. I was banded in February 2008. I love my band.

Does anyone know a good place to go for a local support gruop here in Hartselle/Decatur/Madison Area/ I work in Madison. I would like to find a local group that does not meet during the workday or is not private to just the patients of the doctor hosting the group.
