I don't regret it. I am one of the not-so-lucky ones. I have alot of PBing and slimming; but the better I understand the band the fewer problems I have the more I like it. I would do it again tomorrow. Good luck!

Hi Wendy (and everyone reading this!) :)

I'm not yet banded... STILL WAITING for the office to give me a DATE!!!

I say this is caps because I started all this after Christmas of LAST YEAR. :)

I'm in Fallbrook... I could hock the cats and come your way sometime for a mini meet-up... or we could meet half way or something. Are there any other bandeds or pre-b's in your area, or between us that you know of?

Let me know what sounds good to you, OK? (NO fair sayin "An In & Out burger." either!) LOL

Hugs,

plumptuous

Hi Plumptuous! I am in San Diego and work in Escondido so not far from you. I've been looking for someone closer to me to chat with. How are things progressing for you?

Hey you Orange County Bandsters. There is going to be a seminar with Ali which wrote a book Fighting Wieght. I don't know if you guys have read it but she started at 325 and is now 150. She got the band a few years ago and it is a great book. She is speaking at Hyatt in LA next month. Here is the information if you want to go. It is free and should be really informational for us bandsters or if you want to bring someone thinking about getting the band. LAP-BAND®: Moment of Truth

I am in La Verne, CA about 40 miles east of Downtown L.A. I am new to this site, and I am now excited to see all of the So Cal people here, I was feeling a little lonely until I found this local group. I just joined this site today, and I am enjoying all of the discussions. I am not banded yet, I am in the preliminary stages, just finished my evaluations, the Psych eval was pretty emotional for me! Now I am waiting for the final approval from my insurance company, and then I can set my band date! I am a little scared and excited at the same time!

Welcome Stephaniem21

This thread really isn't that active. But the rest of the board is...

I am sorry that your Psych evaluation was emonitional - mine was a piece of cake (pun intended)

Read all you can and please know that the band will do 25% of the work but that the other 75% is up to you - to make healthy food choices exercise etc..

I gotta run right now - so can't give you all the advise i ususally give newbies - will ck with you later - just wanted you to feel welcomed...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
