When Support Group Members "Attack"....

**Warning, a long one** Ok, this is not a Fox special or anything (haha) - just more of a rant and/or request for others' insight on dealing. So today I attended my very first lap band support group meeting at my surgeon's office. They have them once a month on Thursday and Saturday. I can make a commitment to that no problem!
