Hello Tampa Banders! Looking to start a support group or just activity group in the Tampa Bay area 40+. My best friend and I have been trying to find one and decided since we can't, Why not start one. Maybe get a personal trainer for the group that will meet with us. Have group walks, cookouts and other functions together. We all understand each others limitations, anxieties and insecurities. Great for all that get involved. 813, 727, 863, 352 and anyone close enough that wants to participate 40+. Msg me your contact info. We posssibly will have our own FB page as well. Suggestions welcomed.

Tried to add you twice. Says username is invalid.

Did you ever friend me on MFP? Been off the radar for a while. Back in the loop as of tday.

My Fitness Pal. A fantastic aid to this journey. Wonderful support! Very simplifed way to track food and fitness. People share their food diary at all stages from pre-op to several years post-op. Use on computer or smart phone app. Please check it out! If you like it add me to your MFP friends. O:-)

Banded 9/7/12 231lbs Goal 145lbs Current 216.2lbs as of 10/21/12

Is that a pink tractor? wow...WTF lmaorotf you guys are hilarious.

PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME THERE! Been WIDE open since 9/7/12, the day I was banded, and still no fill. Being disciplined is not why I got banded. Eat slow, don't drink while you eat, have small portions, no more soda...all well and good with some damn help called restriction. lmao Sorry, I just had a moment.

Welcome to your new life! Conngrats on going for it. I invite you to come check out My Fitness Pal. I love it and LBT. More info, support, fun and lots of food diaries to encourage you and show you how easy thos new life can be. I love seeing what successful people ahead of me are doing to maintain a steady pace of weight loss at all stages. And I enjoy being to assist newbies behind me in this journey. Its more encouragement like here but in a very different format. If you go and you like it, feel free to add me and pass the word. Hope to see you there! O:-)

I RE INSTALLED THIS APP TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND NOW MY SIGNATURE, OLD OR UPDATED, WON'T COME UP AT ALL ON THE ANDROID VERSION. IT IS ON THE FULL WEB VERSION. CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I had a different problem...Port Flipping. Went to get my first fill and found my port flipped. Most of the time flipping is at 45°-90° angle. No correction is needed for that. Mine flipped 180°. Dr went back in, repositioned & re anchored it. I see him on 11/19/12 & hopefully get my first fill. I was banded 9/7/12.

Hey there...Glad you took my advice. Please pass the word. How are you feeling today?

I had a port flip because of scar tissue. Never heard of this until it happened to me. Now I hear it's very common but most at 45°-90° angle which has no need for correction. But mine flipped 180°. Found out at my first fill. Today was my corrective surgery. Dr went in, repositioned and re anchored it. Still never had a fill. Was given 1cc just to facilitate the procedure. Still on full food with zero restriction. If I could I would switch to a sleeve. For now I've just gotta find a way to make it work. Next appointment is 11/19/12, over 10 weeks post op. :-\
