Hi my name is Tiffanie. I have been banded since February 9, 2012. I have been pretty much trying to figure out all the steps needed to be successful on my own. My Lapband center only has a once a month support group and it's over by the time I get off work. So excited to find this group and look forward to chatting with you all.

welcome Tiffany!

Thanks Holly

Welcome to lapbandland !

Welcome, Tiffanie! You ar so right, I depend on this group for support. My center has its meetings at night, 1 hour away from me. I have never made the trip. I have 2 adult children who have lapbands, too. I have thier support and my husbands. I can call on surgeon's ofc whenever I need them. Good luck, and stay in touch. Karen

Hi Tiffanie,

I've been banded for six years, but for various reasons, left it unfilled until January this year. I find I'm having to relearn everything! There's so much I don't remember and I've had a lot of questions. I read a couple books to remind myself, but I'd still like to have someone around to ask questions sometimes.

I looked on Obesity Help and all they do is trash the band. Someone referred to this site in a reply, and I hopped over. I'm hoping to get some actual support here.
