I'm not in mesa actually live on the w. side but I too would like to meet up. Are U gals on fb maybe we could create a group on there to communicate more frequently.
I heard of the five day pouch test, it gets u back on track. Haven't tried it myself since I'm a month outa surgery. Just google it. It's on a website for the banded. Good luck.
I too was banded 2/18 and also lost 20lbs. I think I'm losing it from the top down. Like my face, boobs and maybe 5lbs in hips and tummy where it counts
I was banded 2/18/13. I was bleeding from one of my incisions today. Should I be worried. It was only a few drops all the other incisions are healing and beginning to scar.
