Yes... I am from Tucson!

Lori,
Hi! Just caught your thread. I am from Tucson and was banded on 8/1 by Monte Schwartz. I would love a local buddy that I could talk to. I weighed in almost exactly at your weight to start. Looks like we are going to be running neck in neck. I would also love a friend to exercise with on the weekends. I find it hard to keep up with some of my thinner friends. Someone who understands what I am going thru at this point would be great. I am not sure if we can exchange personal info or if you even want to. Please respond.


Christine (wilem)

Tucson info

Hi Christine,

I live on the far northwest side in Marana. I'll send you my info in a private message. I was banded by Dr Schwartz on 7-16. I just saw him yesterday. I haven't had a fill yet. I'm not very inventive with food and I could always use more help with what to eat.

Lori:)

Hey Lori ~

I was banded 06/26/06... my beginning weight was 300. I am now down to 197... 50 to go, but it's going slowly. Anyway, I also live on the far northwest side... in Dove Mountain. Were you banded locally?

It's great to have you here!

Sedonagirl - I live in Coppercreek, right up the street on Tangerine. Would you mind if I sent you a private message?

I actually live across the highway in Continental Reserve! We're not too far apart. I was banded here in Tucson on 7/16/07 by Dr Schwartz. We should all get together. Let me know.

Dr Schwartz

So does everyone like Dr Schwartz? He seemed rushed when I went to his seminar, so I wasn't sure if he was that way at his office.

Thanks!

He is just very much a straight shooter which I like. Definately not warm and fussy. I went in initially with a page full of questions and he answered them all. Maybe that forced him to slow down. I have not had a fill with him yet. When I went for an appointment at my 1 month mark, I saw him for about 30 seconds, but I really only wanted a fill and he would not let me. I go back for my first fill next Thursday 9/20. His office staff is great and definately responsive if you have any questions.
Let us know what you decide. I take it you have not had surgery as of yet? Good Luck with your decisions.
