Hey there. I'm getting banded on Thursday Nov 8. Live in STV. I saw a thread on here but it was from a few years ago. Anyone out my way interested in chatting for support?

I'm way on the west side of Phx/Litchfield Park area but closer than someone in Cali!!! Lol

I was just banded on the 30th of October!!

Hi there KNall

My name is Bonnie and I was banded 3/25/11. I live at Power Road and Queen Creek and would love to chat and be able to encourage each other.

The band was the best thing I ever did. Although my weight lose is slow, 41 lbs so far, I am half way to my goal! You are going to do GREAT and please feel free to keep in touch!

Bonnie

Thanks Bonnie. I'm getting nervous and the more I'm reading the more nervous i'm getting. Like i've read about people losing too fast and having extra skin or people losing slowly which would be discouraging to me. I've also heard of people "eating through the band". Maybe i should stop reading! Thanks so much for replying. We definitely can support each other.

Not to worry at all. All of those things can be true but everyone is different.

I myself have not made good food choices at times which has contributed to me losing slower than some. I'm going back in for another filll next Monday to just start my losing again.

Please keep me posted on your surgery. You will do great!!!!!

My email is bcampbell29@cox.net.

Talk to you soon.

Hi there!! So.. youre 2 months post op now right? How are things going? I'm in the area - about 15 to 20 minutes from STV - depending on the traffic and construction.. would be nice to have someone to talk to ... even with almost 10 months under my belt - its still something 'new' for me.. and finding buddies that understand what I'm feeling and going through? Yeah.. that far and few between... Hope to hear from you soon! And good luck in all you do!!

San tan valley here, went to my first seminar today. I'm ready for my band.

I live off of Ironwood and Ocotillo. I am being banded on 6/20. Would love some people to talk to!
