Hi, my name is Kim and I had Lap-Band Surgery on 6/2/06. There have got to be others who have had the surgery in the area. Don't be shy. Come say Hi.:clap2: :clap2:

I would love to hear from others in the area. kimsretro@comcast.net or right here on the boards.

Dave here..I had the Lapband on 9/11/06 by CHRIAS Dr Irgau..Where did you have the surgery done and by who? DAve

Hi, I am from Delaware, but from the south end. Had my surgery in MD, which is just a few miles from here.

Hi there,

Though no one has posted on this thread since February, I thought as a new member to LapBandTalk I would say Hi and see if there are any other new or old members in the Delaware area hanging around!

I an around, but a lot further south than you are.

Good luck on your journey...................Lee

Hi Lee,

Wow, you are much further South than me. I'm up on the outskirts of Wilmington.

Some of the ladies in my Lap-Band group were from down state, waaaaay down state, which was a bit of a surprise. Apparently CHRIAS is pretty much the only game in town anymore. The next closest doc up this way is at Crozer-Chester. I know there's a Maryland doc too, but I think he may be around the Baltimore area.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for the good wishes, and send the same, best of luck to you with everything!

Hello All,

I am from Dover and also had my banding done by the CRIAS group (Dr. Wynn). Just wanted to let you know I was out here!!

Cool! Nice to *meet* you!

Nice to meet you both. I was banded back in June 06. What a journey. SLOW of course but thats ok by me. Hope to chat with you all more.

Hi Cuddlebug!

Seems we are getting a little further south, good thing!

Nice meeting you, hope to see you around............Lee

Just popped in to say hi! I was born and raised in New Castle County... moved to Wisconsin in Oct 2005 ...still miss my family and friends in DE, but honestly, our insurance there wouldn't have covered the lapband, so I'm kinda glad for hubby's new job out here and I can't say as I miss the traffic either

Well, happy banding DE!!!

HI!

Melissa in New Castle... banded by Dr Michael Peters Jr .. CHRIAS.

Hello Up there in New Castle! I am down here all alone!

Lee

...not for long... you'll be joined by all the tourists this weekend!!!

.... I'll be down there also... we have a place downstate also!!!

Hi Melissa,

Nice to *meet* you too! Dr. Peters assisted with my surgery and I've seen him for postop and fills -- he's a great guy. He also was recently named head of the Bariatric Surgery department at Christiana about six weeks or so ago.

So, how are you making out? Doing well I hope!

Kim - Hi! I missed your earlier post, nice to *meet* you too! I'm glad you got this thread started!

Musicalmomma and I met on another thread -- great to see you over here too though! :biggrin1:

Hmmm, we have to recruit some downstaters so Lee will have some company too!

Yup, the holiday weekend is sure coming quick! The traffic can be a nuisance, but I just wish dogs could go on the beach some times during the season.

We have a German Shepherd, who loves the beach, and when I go to the beach, I always feel guilty having to leave her alone.

Where do you stay when you come down to the beach?

Have a great weekend, and enjoy the sun and sand!

Lee
