Hi Ladies! I'm Sarah- I'm 23 and I'm from Massachusetts. I am also waiting to get banded... it'll probably happen in June or July (I'm getting married in May and don't need the extra stress!). I'm very excited to get it and to start losing weight. I've already lost 5 pounds and I hope to lose 5-10 more before the surgery. I've pretty much been heavy since my parents divorced when I was 7- I was a compulsive overeater for quite some time after that- so I don't think I've ever actually lost weight- until now! I want to wish you all the best of luck on your journies! I'm hoping to make some band buddies on here that I can talk to about our progress :thumbup:

Welcome to Mass! I am just starting my journey and haven't been to a group yet but there is a LAP-BAND® support group about 22 minutes from you in Burlington, MA at the Lahey Clinic (that is where I will be getting my surgery). I have attached the link to the website: Select a Medical Service | Surgical Weight Loss Center | Further Information They meet the Last Tuesday of each month from 6-7:30. The only downside is you have to pay for parking- but the hospital is really nice. It is also kind of big and can be a little overwhelming at first- but once you get where you're going it's fine! Hope this help
