does one absolutley have to be at their goal weight? if so... how long do you have to maintain your goal weight?

Hi there... how nice to find someone right here in New Albany!!! Surgery went well... after a myraid of mistakes... took them 4 times to stick me for the IV... then come to find out they had parts of someone eles's medical records in my file... they were running over 2 1/2 hours late. Got 2 for one... in the effect that I had a hyatel (sp?) hernia repair that I didn't know I even had one.... so will be interesting to see what I will be charged for that... Today went well ... that swallow test is HORRIBLE... yucko...but passed... so that is all that matters... and was out of Norton's by Noon... How long have you had your band? Look forward to chatting with you more... Joanne

Hi... I am from New Albany (SE) across the bridge from Louisville.... so will be having my surgery over there on Monday 2/9/09 finally!!! I really would like to chat with someone locally that has had the band for support and to know of local support groups if there are any, as I would rather not drive over to Norton's for theirs. Any help that anyone can give me... will be very much appreciated... I don't know whether I should give out my email address or what? Joanne

Hi... even though my surgery is on Monday 2/9 in Louisville... I can attend any support group??? I hope so... that would be much easier to go to Jeff than back over to Louisville as I am in New Albany.
