Hi:

Just thought I would throw this out and see if there are any other bandsters from northern New Jersey who would be interested in sharing great food finds, great grocery stores, restaurants that are accomodating, great walking paths or fat-friendly gyms, or just chat. I KNOW there must be some because there were 8 people in my pre-surgery conference alone!!! And there were 100's at the seminar!!!

Come on you New Jersey folk. Say hi!!

I'd quote our state slogan but wasn't the last one a bust because it was borrowed from another state?? LOL You HAVE to love New Jersey!

I am from North NJ bergen cty area.....had surgery in Dec. 06 by Dr. Trevidi.....i am down 32 pounds now and feel great.....i hope all of you have the same success and outcome i have had....good luck Deb

Whoooah... Alex I'm sorry you had your band removed (I haven't been reading up here if ya couldn't tell OY !!) I'm glad the surgery went well though. Do they know what caused it ?

Having band Monday. I am in Sussex and am with Dr.Bertha at Morristown. Just looking to start chatting for support and such.

I'm going in for my RE-banding on June 4 with Dr. Abkin. I'm so psyched and can't wait to get back to bandland!!

I'm definitely going to the support group meeting on the 30th at Abkin/Bertha's offices. Anyone else going to be there?

Alexandra congrats on such a fast re-band date!!! I thought the group met this Wednesday, the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month. Shoot. Hope to see you there, I will have to call the office to double check. Congrats again!!!

Hi Seppi!

Nope, it's the 2nd and LAST Wednesdays of the month. I know, it's confusing.

Alexandra I am so glad you told me, I would have driven there for nothing. See you next week.

I'm on vacation that week, so I'm planning on going. It'll be my first time, but I can't wait to meet everyone!

See u then,

Virginia
