Hello Everyone,

It's time to Celebrate our Maryland Lap-Band Support Group's One Year Anniversary. Bandsters, Per Bandsters and even the ones just thinking about getting banded who need the extra support you are all welcomed to come join us. Just let me know how many people are attending so I can set up reservation. I'm so happy to have met so many wonderful people this past year and hope to see you all there. I'm sure we will have lots to talk about.

Thanks for the support , Crystalstar11 (K)

I will be there restricted....pass me a bone please. Thank you K he he he for putting together the MD Lap Band Support Group. This group on the site and in person has been my main motivating force to losing weight.

Thank you ladies for helping me to make walking a habit. LSasha I can't talk about walking without saying your name. Watching your post "MADE" me want to get out there and walk. Seeing your weight loss "MADE" me do it.

Kee let me know when you are going to start walking after work again, I stay later some evenings. I think I am ready to do 2 laps.

It has been such a pleasure meeting at everyones homes and the get togethers at the restaurants. The picnic was awesome, the weather, food and company was just everything I could have asked for.... well a few fine men would have been nice.

I will be there. :hungry: Looking forward to it.

Reminder.....

Ladies...

It was wonderful seeing everyone! You all look so beautiful, I missed u gals. I was nice to catch up with what everyone is doing. We definately need to keep up the monthly meetings. Last year was great and the year to come with be filled with prosperity for all of us!

Luv Ya

Thanks to all that attended our one year anniversary on Sunday. I really enjoyed just hanging out and talking with you all. It's nice to have such a wonderful group of people to share with. I understand not everyone was able to attend, So we look forward to meeting with you next month. I will keep everyone updated, we plan to meet at 1 PM on the third Sunday of every month in the bowie area. I'm still on the lookout for a permanent meeting location.

For next month I thought it would be nice to have a Bring A Friend Meeting. This will be a good time to bring a friend that is of support to you or that is interested in learning more about the Lap Band. I have learned a lot over the last year and I plan to make the much needed changes to better our group. So look for more wonderful things ahead.

I have a consultation date set for Friday with Dr. Brody at GW in DC. So I have been really busy this week making sure I have all documentation together to submit to my insurance company. I'm getting closer and I will post again as soon as I hear back from the insurance company or get a surgery date.

Again thanks for all your support.

We will talk soon, K
