Hello, Our support group is small but doing good. We are thinking about changing the times to 4-5p or 4:30-5:30 Would this time work for people? Sharon

Mike, Sorry I missed you at the meeting today. We're thinking about changing the time. Would 4-5p or 4:-5:30 be better for you? Sharon

Hello, I was banded in MX 2 years ago. Dr. Sanchez. Welcome. Which part of state do you live in? Sharon

Hi everyone. We had our first support group meeting. It was small but very nice. We are meeting the first Friday of each month from 2-3:30 at the Summit. I hope everyone is doing great. Sharon

Hello, It's so nice to hear from someone in the Flathead. I was banded 2 years ago. We are having a support group if your interested. The first Friday of every month from 2-3:30 at the Summit. It would be great if you can come. I look forward to talking with you. Sharon

Hello, Well we finally have it. A support group has begun in Kalispell, MT for anyone who has had a gastric surgery or thinking about it. The first meeting is March 7th at 2:00 pm at the Summit. Hope to see everyone there. Sharon

I am looking into beginning a lapband support group in NW Montana. If you are interested please reply. I'm getting the information. Thank you. Sharon

I'm glad your doing well. I'm really struggling with eating bad foods. I've gained 4 pounds. I've discovered the bad way to eat around the band. I need to get back on the wagon. Take care. Sharon

Hi Connie, I live outside of Kalispell. It's about 13 miles from Martin City. It really is beautiful here but I grew up next to the ocean and miss it terribly. I've lived here about 19 years now. It's growing like crazy. Real estate has gone through the roof. Houses have more than doubled in my time here. Sharon

Hi, Just wondering if anyone in NW Montana would be interested in a support group? Sharon

Hello Everyone, Sorry I haven't written in awhile. Kinda been down and out. I've been making really bad choices and then on top of that I ended up with knee surgery last Monday and have done nothing but sit and eat. I made the mistake of getting a fill in the am in March and thought it was enough but I think I could use a little more but by the time I come to GF with mileage, travel and fill it runs me around $ 325.00. I'll just save my pennies. I hope everyone is doing well. Sharon

Hi, How is everyone doing? I've been in a real slump lately. I haven't lost a pound in a month. I still have about 40 to go. I'm haveing a time with munching and sweets. Sometimes I think I should have more put into my band but I'm already at 2.5 and I know it's my turn to do the work. I won't be able to drive over from Kalispell for the meeting but please keep my informed on what the nutritionist has to say. I've been making excuses for exercise too. I really don't like it. But I need to. Well got to go. Sharon

Hi, Shawn, Yep I still get hungry. Tummy still growls. Although the other day I had gone 6 hrs without eating and had to remind myself I needed to eat. I try not to get really hungry because them I order everthing on the menu and when it comes I can only eat a small portions and end up throwing it away. I can't eat reheated meat. It makes me PB. I'm at the point now where my band is at it's limit (I could put more in but think it's not a good idea) so now it's up to me. I need to excercise more and be more careful what I eat. I still have about 40 lbs to go. I hope everyone is doing well. Is anyone going to the April support group in GF? Sharon

Chelle, I live outside of Kalispell. I was banded 5/26/06. There is a support group that meets in Great Falls each month if your interested. Welcome to band land. Sharon

D, I live on the outskirts of Kalispell. I was banded 5/26/06 in MX. Dr. Roher does my after care. He's the only one in MT that will see a Mx patient. Dr. Hennessy is no longer available. I wish someone in Kalispell would do after care but most don't even know what it is. Take care. Sharon
