I was just banded four days ago and am looking for some local support. I know there is a group in London (over and hour to the west) and in Mississauga (over and hour to the east) and just wondered if there were any bandsters meeting closer?

you could also post on canadalapbanders Canadianlapbanders.com A number of eastern bandsters subscribe to this site run by a nurse who is banded. I am from BC but thought I would answer your enquiry so you know there are eastern chat sites. Good luck.

Thanks so much! I actually just moved here from Langley, BC about 6 weeks ago..I know tons of bandsters in BC...but none here...actually I don't know anyone here lol!!!

Hey! I am new to Cambridge (moved here in Sept, 2010) and don't really know anyone yet. I am getting my lap band surgery on Fri. Jan 21 and I'm getting super nervous! I'd love to get to know you and help each other out! I'll give you some of my stats:

I'm 28 yrs old, newly married (Sept. 11, 2010), highest weight 378 lbs in Oct, current weight 365 lbs. I'd love to lose 200 pounds!!

I'm getting banded at SWLC in mississauga by Dr. Cobourn.

Tell me a bit about yourself I'd love to hear all about your surgery day and how it's gone since then - it may help calm my nerves!

Can't wait to hear from you.

You can also surf over to the obesity hep board. It's a more general board, but they definitely have weekly K-W support meetings you could attend.

HI there,

I was banded a 2 1/2 years ago, lost 100 lbs and have keep it off but still have lots more to go and I'd really like to get back on the horse and work this tool.

I would be super interested in a support group too. Give me a shout if you've found anything.

Thanks,

Kiz

Maybe we could get a group together for coffee sometime in KW? I am from Stratford and there are a few other bandsters I travel with to CVC from Kitchener.
