I am getting banded in September! I can't wait I just want to meet people local and have a support system in place! I haven't told many people I know about the surgery as I don't want their negative opinions. I am going through True Results in Scottsdale for the surgery.

I am in AZ! I am getting banded 08/27. I am using Dr. Simpson in Phoenix.

I am so excited to get this done. I start my pre-op diet in 8 days :-)

I'm a client of True Results Scottsdale also. I live in Fountain Hills. My surgery was November 2012. I am very pleased with TR. I would love to be part of a coffee group/support group.

A local support coffee group would be awesome!

I went through TR in Scottsdale too.Had my surgery 2 weeks ago and I am very pleased so far. Would love to join a support group. Count me in!

How are you doing so far?

How are you doing so far?

I am doing great. I did not expect the swelling which took about 10 days to go away. I've lost 14 lbs so far and feel great. Still a little sore when i get up and down but it doesn't keep me from doing anything I need to do. I am amazed that I don't feel hungry and when I do eat it's just to nourish my body so I have energy. Are you excited about your surgery yet?

That is so awesome!

I want summer to rush by as fast as it did when I was a kid an so far it has! My surgery is penciled for Sept 27th BUT I am hoping I can move it up a week (fingers crossed!) I go for my last Ins require appt on Aug 19 the. The paperwork goes to the Ins for approval! Eeek!

I went through TR, got my surgery on June 27; I've lost about 20 lb. during my liquid diet (10 days, 7 pre-op and 2 post -op) and have not loose any more since then. I went to my first follow up last week and they told me that I can start exercising, so I am sure this will help. I am interested on joining your coffee group because I can not attend the one at True Results due to my work schedule. I am doing great as far as eating a lot less than what I used to eat.

You couldn't exercise for 2 months? Why so long?

That makes me sad. I love going to the gym and 2 months out is going to drive me crazy

We should definitely try and meet somewhere! I live by the 101 and 7th Street but work in Tempe by Az Mills so I can/will go wherever! I have Mondays and Tuesdays off

Nifty,

They recommended to only walk for the first month or so until you go to your follow up visit.

Irishflower,

I am interested if we could find a day/time that works for most of us. I am off on Saturdays and Sundays, I live in Chandler.

Poop. The one thing I can't do...walk. I can swim, I like the yoga, I could probably bike...but standing upright more than a couple minutes pinches stuff in my back and my legs go numb. Fantastic.

IrishFlower, I live right by you!! 7th and Union Hills

We definitely have to find a time and place to meet up!

Nifty are you pre or post op?

Pre! I get banded 8/27. Start my preop diet saturday.
