I'm quite a ways north of Dayton, about halfway between Dayton and Lima, but going to Premier Bariatrics (Good Sam/Miami Valley) for my surgery. I saw a thread from a while ago by some Dayton people, but it doesn't look like any of them are still active on here... I would love some local folks to talk to!

Hi i stay north Dayton. I'm scheduled to get banded 4/25/12 i can't wait!

Hi!! Welcome to the lap band boards. I am in the dayton area too. I had my surgery on December 16th. I see you should be recovering about now since it says your surgery is on the 25th of April. I hope all is well. If you need advice or help this board is a great place. Just try not to compare yourself to others toooooo much. Would love to hear how you are doing after your surgery.

Best wishes,

Diana

Hi still in hospital so ready to go home!! In so much pain

I live just about 15 minutes north of Dayton. I've been banded since Sept'08 and I've done horrible since having my baby almost 10 months ago. I'm starting over again. Going to get a fill tomorrow and would really LOVE to talk to people who are in the same area (generally) and who understand the struggles with being banded.

Ok hope everything get back on track for you. I stay north Dayton area

About 20 minutes south of downtown Dayton here - in Springboro/Waynesville! Went to Miami Valley Hospital - Bariatric

I am almost at my six month mark and really feel like I could be doing better. I really need to get back to the doctor and get another fill. I need to also get back into my routine of walking and the gym. I really think I should have more in my band by now. I feel that my doctor could put more in when I get filled. So, I think it is just a slow process for me.

Anyway, It is glad to know that there is local people on here to talk to. Hope everyone is going great and stay positive!!!!

Wish it was going better for you - i agree go get the fills - they did it slowly for me too but it was worth not rushing it in the end - until you hit restriction it's just like any other diet you've been on. Stay patient and regularly see your doc for those fills and you will get there. I couldn't overeat now if i wanted to!

I'm from Miamisburg. Scheduled for surgery 2/6/13 and start my pre-op diet Sunday.

Great to see everyone from around the area. I am doing a little better. Still need more restriction but just have not had time to schedule a fill. I have also been trying to get pregnant so I am just trying to pace myself. I have lost 10 more pounds maybe more. I haven't weighed in for a few weeks. I feel great so who knows.

I wish you the best on your surgery. Just remember its a process. It takes time and hard work. Liquids will be your friend for a little while.
