Hello Group, I know that it has been a long time since anyone has heard from me. I have been going through my own stuff! But I will try to regroup and invite everyone back into my world. LOL I will be attending the May-2006 Lap-Band Support Group meeting today at 1 PM and I will speak there about my progress. I have been making much improvements and loving it. I have had much support from a lot of you. Mostly from a group member by the name of Teresita. She is awesome. I hope to see a lot of you there today. But if you are not able to attend... Look forward to the next meet. From what I know we will be having our first Pico-Nick meeting at one of our local parks. Take care and know that you are a part of one of the best support groups ever. From Your Maryland Lap-Band Support Group Leader LOL Karen Kisses and Hug's to you all. M&F God Bless
