HEY CHRIS! Get a bunch of people together and I will be there too. Keep me posted, Tricia

Thanks you so much MacMadame! I didn't realize that eating solids now could jeopardize my future.......good thing you wrote me that. Yes, I do NEED restriction, but I guess I have to wait 9 more days in ALL-LIQUID-HELL> Any ideas as to what can fill me up in the meantime?:hurray:

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I would LOVE to get together with some other Banders "off the record". We could meet at a Starbucks or a place like that (just not Italian cause I can't eat :hurray: Write me back if you are interested! Tricia

Hi there Ladies~ I was just banded 4 days ago and I am in need of a support group. My surgeon's support group is all the way in Norwalk~ I live real close to New Haven......so my question is "Can I come to the St. Ray's support group?" Please let me know.....thanks!

Hello there Fellow Banders! I was Lap Banded on Dec. 23, 2008~ 4 days ago. I was researching some more tonight as I chill out in my recliner. I was so tired of hearing "Why don't you try Weight Watchers"~ DUH!!! How many times have I tried that? And Atkins, South Beach, Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, etc. You name it! I also got flack for doing it RIGHT before Christmas~ but I am a full time, married, working Mom of a 2 year old. So tell me when should I get it done? So I went for it! I have PCOS, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and (the last straw) Pre-Diabetes. I was 250 before surgery and as of today I am 240lbs. I am only 5'3".........So I have a WHOLE lot to lose. Is anyone out there to talk to me? I am on the clear liquid phase~ BUT why do I feel hungry? I feel like skipping a "phase" and eating a tiny bit of solids.....OMG! But I don't get my first fill until January 5th. Maybe that's when the REAL restriction begins??? Help me Banders! Thanks
