I would like to find or start a support group for the South Bay area here in Torrance. I was banded on 4-4-06 and am down about 45lbs.:help: If anyone knows of an exsiting group or would like to get together in the area I would love to meet and talk to others that are going through the same trials and tribulations:girl_hug: . Just some people that are laid back and want to BS about the whole experience. Please send replies so we can get together. I have a nice patio to get together on if you want or we can meet somewhere.:nervous Alan alan@themancave.net

Hi all, :nervous I am a 40 year old man and am scheduled to get banded with Dr. Kuri on 4-4-06. I hear nothing but good things about the experiance. I live and work in the Los Angeles area and the general LA feeling about TJ is grim. I could use some stories about your experiences and what I might expect.:phanvan I'm hoping for some enlightenment. My wife will be there with me as well, and she's not really looking forward to sitting in a hospital room for 2.5 days. How far is the hospital from anything where she can "safely" kill some time? Thanks, Harpseal Al
