Anyone awake at this hour? I had surgery last Wed the 4th and would like to chat with others that are going thru the samething.

Hi, I'm here. It's not so late on the west coast. Congratulations on your banding. Are you doing alright so far?

dancing · October 13, 2006

Yes I am doing great except I try to talk to my friends and they dont get it. I dont blame them but I need to find a link to chat or maybe a support meeting

I am trying to figure this whole online chat experience. So please be patient with me. I was trying to change my user name from in his time to dancing as that is more me.

Since it's late and no reponse I guess I will try to chat with someone tomorrow.

Dancing, sorry, I got a phone call and missed you.

Another thing you can do is go on to the October bandster thread. I'm sure you'll find others there at the same stage as you. Are you getting the "why don't you just eat less" thing from your friends?

Hello all

I have been lurking here for a long time while preparing for my surgery. I wanted to join and post questions, but was almost afraid I would jinx myself. I was banded on the 10th of October by Dr. Kuri in Tijuana, Mexico. So far so good after a long journey home to Hawaii. I was wondering if anyone on this board lives in Hawaii? Also, is anyone on this board affiliated with the US military? I look forward to talking with everyone.

Thanks

Dessia

Dessia, Welcome to lapband from Houston,Texas. No I'm not in the military just wanted to welcome you and wish you the best. The band is a wonderful tool. I don't like much being at my goal and was banded the end of April.Getting my third fill on Monday and have had no problems at all.
