Awwww Kat, you will be missed. Maybe you can plan to make the next meeting.

Here is a note from the lady who is holding the Support Group this week

There are already about 5 people that I know who are going to be there. I hope some from here will be able to make it.

Well there is a Nurse Practioner who is trying to get certified to do the fills here in Rio Rancho and she has had some Obesity help Training about lap-band and other weight loss surgery about how to start a group and get some materials and starting a website and etc, she sounded very nice and wants to help!

Hi Trish,

I of course will be their at the meeting on Dec. 2. Can you e-mail me Janets e-mail address, so I can get her home address. I got it from her, but of course anything that goes into my purse get lost in the black hole!

I look forward to meeting with you girls again, and I hope we have some new people show up too! That would be great.

Nanette:clap2:

I use a fill Dr. in Colorado--it would surebe more convenient to have one in ABQ---maybe we will soon, I have heard some advertisements on TV!! Welcome to LBT, and if you have any questions concerning your surgery, feel free to ask!!!

Good Luck, and I am so glad you are here!!!

Hi Rose,

I live in Rio Rancho, and was banded on Oct.26, in Dallas Tex.. We are forming a support group for lap-band people, and you are welcome to join us. There are just a few of us so far, but we welcome anyone with a band or anyone who is getting one or thinking about the process.

We meet on the first Sat. of the month. If you are interested, let me know. Another member of our group also get her band in TJ.

My Dr. in Texas set up a way for us to get fills here. It is at El Camino Imaging Center. I dont know if they will take patients from other doctors, but it would be worth checking into. Good luck, and welcome .

Rose, Welcome to your new life style!!! I can hardly wait to meet you too! I was banded by Dr. Kuri in Tijuana. Is he going to be your surgeon? We'll have a Bandster's Support Group meeting on Sat. Jan 6, although I can't be there because I'm going to a two day conference in Tuscon with ObesityHelp.com and don't want to miss it. We should talk sometime. The abqnbb.com which is a support group for anyone who has had weight loss surgery meets on first and third Wed. nites at 6 p.m. at the Presbyterian Hospital in the cafeteria over near San Mateo and I'25. Would you like to join me there Wednesday nite? Give me a call. 249-0996. Best wishes! Carol

Nanette---I would really like to get the phone number if I could for the El Camino Imaging Center---so I could call and check into whether they would be willing to do my fills. It is a shorter ride, than to where I go in Colorado. Plus at least there are a lot of things I can do there---meet friends "for lunch" for instance!!! It would be worth a phone call for me to find out!!! Look forward to hearing from you. Will be trying to make the January meeting, will mainly depend on the weather. It is snowing like crazy here right now...has been off & on all day.

TTYL!!

Yeah A fill Dr. here would really be helpful, its wonderful to see so many people in the Alb. area with a band.

Right now I need a fill so bad. and I have to wait until spring, I will not travel to CO in this type of weather. I would pay 300.. that wouls actually save me, i spend at lest 500 for the trip, the Dr. visit, food, hotel... yeah it would surely save me money.

      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.
