I had my surgery December 1, 2006 by Dr. Garth Brooks. My progress has been slower than I had expected, but I am still working toward my goal. I have lost 60 lbs in one year :clap2:. I have been really frustrated lately because the holidays made it difficult to keep on tract. I'm back on track now and will hopefully get to my goal weight by April.
I also live in the Pasadena area. I don't think that I would be interested in going to a support group, but I would like to have someone to chat with about our experiences.
