Anyone in the mesa area?

Hello I was just banded on the 13th. Was wondering if there were any others that want to join this journey with me that are local! Maybe we could meet up every so often to share success stories!

Yeah it would be nice. Its hard to communicate on here! I can look into making a page or group!

I know there is a good group called Lap Band Divas. It's not local. There are people all over the world. But lots of people with good info.
