If there is enough interest, I would be happy to try to get a south Denver group going.

Hi Fran, I won't be able to make Wed meetings for the summer or fall but I would definitely join them for the winter. Thanks!

Sounds good to me too!

Fran, Can you send me an invite to amharrison80@gmail.com please? Thank you!

Facebook hates me Fran! I got your invite but am getting this message now. Ugh!!! "The page you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may be broken or expired, or you may not have permission to view this page."

Can you add me please? Kyrasmom2002@hotmail.com

I was unable to get the link to work. Is there another way to find the page?

Hi SparkleCat, How did your surgery go? I am also in Denver (littleton/centennial border) and would love to get together with other people who have had bariatric surgery. Most of you on this board have the sleeve it looks like. I got the lap band in 2008 when I was 265lbs. I am now at 145lbs and I love my lap band.

Hi Fran, If you need any help trying to put this together please let me know. I wouldn't be able to be a leader but I would love to be a co-leader. I live in south Denver but I don't mind driving to Westminster for this. Thanks, Angela

Hi Katie, Congrats on your band and your 8 pounds lost! I got my band in Denver but live up in the mountains. I am soon to be 30 and would love to talk to you about your band journey. Angela

I am unable to vomit. Normally I would think this is a good thing (especially with the band), but lately I am questioning it. I have had food get stuck a few times, and even tried to get it to come up, but it never does. I am always just in pain for a long while until it goes down...which it always does. The reason I am concerned about this now is becuase I got very drunk the other night. I was feeling very sick (of course) and knew I was going to be sick. I retched a few times (not by choice) and nothing happened at all. I am just curious if it could be a bad thing at all. I would think that when a person needs to throw up that its their body trying to get rid of bad stuff. Can it be harmfull if it is unable to get rid of that stuff? **I know that vomiting is bad for your band and I would never try to do it on purpose.

Hey Everyone! Its been forever since this thread has been updated. How is everyone doing? We need some updates on here!!

Hi Everyone!! It has been just a little over 1 year from my surgery date and I am down 104lbs. I still have about 13 to lose but am getting there!

It seems like 100lbs was the goal for most people for the 1 year bandiversary. My overall goal was to be at 175lbs. I started at 262. Well, I have already passed that and now dont want to stop. I have lost 104lbs so far and am just over my 1 year. I am currently at 158 and would like to get to 145 at the smallest. I have been working out with a personal trainer for the last year and I know that i wouldnt be where I am without him.

Wow, your coming right up then!! Congrats!! I also wanted to let you know that for me it was alot easier to give up things like soda than I expected. Donuts used to be my favorite food in the world and now they are hard to eat and since I dont have them all the time I dont crave them anymore. Hopefully things will go as easy for you. :biggrin: I will keep you in my thoughts!!
