Krystal,
My name is Jennifer and I live in North County/Spanish Lake area. I was banded last Friday 13th at DePaul Hospital. At Depaul there is a support group that meets every 1 and 3 Wednesday at 5:30-7:00. Most of the participants are RNY but there are a few of us there and many are doing quite well. They are talking about splitting the group in 2 because bandies have different needs than RNY but we all have the same goal of being successful. I'll be there this evening, maybe you can come and join us.
The on-line forum is awesome. I find most of my support on "April 2007, Head Start on Spring". This is a thread where everyone has or will be banded this month. Since you are starting out fresh won't you join us there and encourage you. There is lots of support on this forum. We have become like family. Here nobody judges you and you will not be alone in this life changing journey. We are from all walks of life and from all over the world.
Ms Jen got a reaction from Adelarn13 in St. Louis People
