I've noticed there are a lot of us from Georgia, specifically metro Atlanta.

I was thinking it might be good if we all found each other in one thread and maybe make some LAP-BAND® buddies that we could actually reach out to.

My name is Paige and I live in Stockbridge, GA. I'm a 41 year old single mother to a beautiful 23 year old daughter and two handsome sons(18 and 13 years old).

I was skinny most of my life, then I hit 35 and it's been a landslide of fat since then. I've watched in horror as I've gone from size 6 to a size 20 in just six years.

My surgeon is Dr. Gorjala and he operates out of Southern Regional Hospital. I chose him and his staff, not only because I have heard good things about him/them, but because they have a satellite facility about 15 minutes from where I work and I'll eventually be able to get my fills there on my lunch hour.

My LAP-BAND® journey has already been a complete year, beginning with my first seminar last September. It's been a long and bumpy road, but I'm almost there now.

I'm really excited and can't wait to finally have some accountability as far as my eating habits go.

Hi ladies! Are any of you still around? I am in Fayetteville and I'm using Dr. Gorjala. I went searching here for people who have used him and found Paigey. I hope you are still doing good. Do you still go to the monthly support meetings? If so I may you see you there. Take care!

It's been so long since I've posted. I am not sure if the other ladies are still around, but I'd like to try to get a little more active.

I've been slack about going to my support group meetings, but I did go to one this month. I also signed up for the Fall Fashion Show.

I hope everyone is doing well!
