I'm in Kissimmee. I just had my band placed on 04/11/06. Anyone in the Central Florida area? I'd like to keep in touch and maybe meet a few people. I am doing well. 6 days out and I lost 12lbs. I am excited and wanted to touch base with other successful people.

Hey Eve,

Great to hear from you. I saw your posting telling people about us and I really apprieciate it. liquids actually kind of grow on you. I am 26 pounds lighter as of today. Thanks for the pino tip I'll have to remember it. We should be opening our office in the next 3-5 weeks. I have found space in Deltona right near the Hospital. We still would like to do house calls but have to start with the office. Hope all is well with you and yours.

A girlfriend of mine is on her way down to Ft Pierce for the week.

Weigh to go losers!!! I live in Cocoa, FL which is about 10 min. from NASA. It's so wonderful looking at all your pics and thinking I too will look good soon.I'm scheduled for my band 8/28/06 with a local GI surgeon. I realized I'd have to pay double but in the long run, I feel I've made the right decision. If anyone is in the area or not, give me a shout.
