Jumping on the band wagon

Hi ya..

My name is Kathy and I am newly banded, 2 days out. Dr Abkin was my surgeon and I live in Morris County NJ.

I am the mother of 4. I would like to know of any support(live) groups in the area.

    Kathy, we're neighbors!! Abkin was my doctor too. Have they told you about the monthly meetings at their offices? The next meeting is next Wednesday, the 30th, at 7:00 p.m. I'm definitely going and hope to meet you there!

    Hello Kathy,

    I am still pre-band and having my surgery with Dr. Abkin on 07/30. I am also planning to attend the support group on 06/30 in his office. Hope to see you there.
