Hey Reggie! Long time no chat....hope you are doing well! I'm actually having surgery to remove my LapBand on Wednesday the 26th because its slipped. So I haven't been on here in quite while...unfortunately it looks like no one else has either.

And John too!!!!

You look great Pat! Hey Candra I MISS you girl!!!! Haven't seen you in almost 7 or 8 months! How are you doing? Call me sometime, we need to get together!!!! I miss all of you wonderful ladies I hope we can all start to meet soon! I need more support as I know most of us do! I am currently co-moderating a 3rd Sat of each month support group for LapBansters only but not sure how much longer this group will continue. The lady I co-moderating with will most likely not be heading the meetings anymore and I don't think I can commit to leading the group at all times each month. I'll have to see and decide more later. But I would love to see you all and possibly start meeting for support, walking and lunch on occassions! Again I hope to see you all again soon! Take care, April

Long time no talk girlfriend...keep your head up...you have been through so much but you are a strong independant woman and you can get through ANYTHING! :huh2: Let me know if I can do anything for you. We need to get together and talk...it's been a while. By the way in case you didn't know I am helping with heading up a Band-Only support group on the 3rd Saturday of every month including November and December. For the next two months the dates are on Nov 20th and Dec 18th and it is from 10 am - noon. Please come we would love to have you!!

I have some great news for all you LapBanders out there! Another lady Tammy (from the SacValley Yahoo Bandsters online group) and I have started a new LapBand ONLY Support group with the help of one of the Bariatric Physician's at Sutter. The meetings will be on the 3rd Saturday of each month at the Sutter Cancer Bldg. in Downtown Sac. They will not conflict with the current 4th Saturday support meetings held at the Point West Kaiser so you would be able to attend both meetings each month! They begin on Saturday Oct. 16th from 10:30 a.m-12:30 p.m and will be held on the 1st Floor of the Sutter Cancer Center at 2800 L Street in Classroom #1. The next few meetings will be held on the following dates: Oct. 16th Nov. 20th Dec. 18th Jan.15th All the meetings will be at the same time 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. This is open to ALL Bandsters no matter which coverage they have or do not have. Tammy and I are so excited to have this opportunity to start this band only group and to have the chance to be able to support one another and discuss band specific things with each other every month. The other great thing is since it falls the weeks before each of the holidays this year (ie. Thanksgiving and Christmas) we WILL be holding the November and December meetings... I know we all could use the support especially around the holidays! I hope you ladies are doing well and just let me know if you have any questions! Take care:thumbup:

I'm here too! Just been going through it like everyone else...I hope you all are doing well. I miss everyone! Where was everyone on Saturday...no one was at the support group. :smile: I am so sorry to hear about your losses Sherri...hang in there and let us know if there is anything we can do for you. My prayers are with you and your family during this time. Please remember to take care of yourself, I know how painful things are probably feeling right now but your health is important! Take Care, April
