HI there

I live in Northern Mass. close to the NH border. Wondering if there are any bandsters close by. I am having my first consult next Wed. and will be seeing Dr. Jeiser.

Oh boy what a storm! I got my power back late last night...my mother in law in Nashua is still out though. What about you, did you loose it?

Hiya Gonna,

No power yet! We are staying at the Radisson. I'm on their puter bored to death.

Are you going through Dr. Jeiser? I am about 1 1/2 years out, lost about 75 lbs. It's tough, but well worth it.

Glad you have you power back up. I live on the Dracut line, which is the last area I believe to get power up. (Darn).

Go figure my power went out again this morning! I live 2 minutes from Dracut in Tyngsboro. I am going to Lahey Clinic...Dr. Lelan SIllin. Hope you get your power soon!

Hi ..I'm formerly from Lowell but have lived in Dracut for the last 24 yrs..3 miles from the Pelham boarder. I was banded on Dec 29, 2008. Had a few problems but not with the banding. Put on about 25 lbs in water retention because of all the IV"S .. but I've lost that 25 and another 10. Dr Shore was my Dr and she is just the greatest..a real sweatheart and had surgery at Lowell General. Anyone banded around that time or had the bypass? We could keep up on our progress. Anyone feeling cold all the time? Can't use Whey protein because I had a reaction to it, but my DH sure is thinking up great recipes with lots of protein, except we have to eat it for 3 days because he makes so much..lol.. but ya know he tries. Hope to hear from some of you. Sue Boule aka mrs23b@aol.com

I am from Wilmington, banded at Lahey Clinic last August.

I had a reaction to the Whey protein also. Get to Wal-Mart

and get the Edge Advantage Soy Protein powder in chocolate. It's very good. I use it when I don't have time for Breakfast or I'm doing a 3 day "fast" to jump start me and after a fill. I add 3 ice cubes, and a good shot of Hersey's sugar free Chocolate syrup and non-fat milk. Blend and blend till the ice is totally gone, it's really tasty.

Take care and congratulations.:scared2:

I live in Westford and had Dr. Shen in Dec 07. I've lost about 63 but am stuck and still have about 20 to go. At least I'm maintaining.

Aimee,

Nice to hear from someone from my clinic! I had Dr. Jiser.

Wow, we are almost the same age. I am 54 and I am also stuck! I go for my 2 year check-up next month. I have lost about 70 lbs., but the last 30/40 lbs. is a killer. My husband's family lives in Westford. Small world!

I hope we can keep this post going. It's great to hear from all you ladies!

Maryrose,

I tried to email you but I don't think it worked, unless of course you received two emails from me! I haven't gone to any support groups since about two months out. I like seeing other people, but never found them very helpful. I love the WLS center though and think they are great. Maybe I should go to the groups, or maybe I should just try to completely stop eating! I go to this gym thing, GET in Shape for Women on Tues and Thurs, so group would be hard!

Keep in touch.

Aimee

does anyone have Dr. Shore, LGH weight managment ctr she is in with Dr. Jieser & Dr Shen?

Hi Mgb,

I had Dr. Jieser. I have heard Dr. Shore is wonderful.

There is a post here from mrs 23b I believe, she mentions Dr. Shore.

Would like to keep this thread going!

Great to hear from local bandsters.

Dr. Shore is my doctor and I absolutely adore her. She has been amazing especially the day of my surgery. How is everyone doing, seeing most of you are probably 1 yr out??
