Los Angeles Bandster support group

I've seen a lot of threads that were started years ago, but I thought I'd see if anyone came onto this site a little late like I did and would be interested in some sort of support group.

I live in the Valley, but I don't think this group has to be that specific.

Let me know if there's any interest and we can pick a date and time to meet.

Sounds great! Let's wait a few more days to see if there's any more interest, but otherwise maybe we can make a plan for early August? I know the 1st is a Sunday, maybe we can make something work for that day.

Looking forward to it!

Hello~

I live in Ventura & would love to be able to meet more band members :tt2:

I think this would be a great idea. What stage of the journey are we all in. I am pre-op and am currently sitting in my last appt. Before my paperwork is sent off to the insurance company. I'm very nervous/excited.

I am very interested. I was banded on July 8th. I live in Northridge. Let me know if you settle on a day and time. I was banded at Cedars and the support groups are sometimes too hard to get to. Would love to find some closer by lap band buddies!

Congrats Jamie!!

Well you are pretty close to me

Let's give it a week and see if we get any others interested

If not we can set up a time

Evenings work for you?

I'll check back next week!

I would be really interested in going a support group in the LA area. Can you keep me posted on the details?

Thanks!

Hi there! I'll be getting the lap band sometime this summer. Did you all fine a support group in the west valley? I'd be interested in joining!

Please let me know!
