I am new to the board. Would love to meet anyone considering banding or who is already banded.

I am in Abington (near Braintree, Brockton). Where is everyone else in Massachusetts from? :typing:

I really like this board I have learned so much already.

wow, good for you!! I get banded on october 14th!!! I wish it was tomorrow!!!hee hee!

I'm from Boston, MA and had my surgery at BIDMC on 8/6/2007 by Dr. Schneider.

I'm new to the club. I also live in Abington. Got my band on May 21st at Norwood Hospital. Except for some initial naseua I'm feeling pretty good now. Gr. Adam Glasgow did the surgery and i was really impressed. His dad removed the staples last week (didn't hurt at all) and he seems like a great guy too. Hope everyone is doing well. :tongue2:

Hi Jiminy:

I have been going to the Glasgows for 3 years. Great people and doctors!

I'm from Norwood. Maybe I'll catch you at support group some time.

Hello everyone,

I am from Easthampton, Mass. I got banded in October, 2009 and am having a terrible time. I've only lost 28 lbs. I have another fill coming up on 1/31/11, so hopefully that will help.

I am wondering if anyone is interested in getting a group together in the Northampton area? I would love to have a "band buddy" in the area.

Good luck to all....
