:bored :bored :bored well well I guess this site has nobody from the chatt. area and let me also guess that no body has been banded at memorial hos. by dr. fromm-paynter-or ponce?? Geez I sure feel like the lonesome stud here lol.

I have seen Jennifer on the last few appointments. I really like her.

I saw her at my follow up appointment. She is nice.

Are any of you attending the monthly support meetings at GBI? I have been to all but one of them (on vacation in March) since I was banded.

By the way, the "black headed chick" is Tiffany. :-)

I would like to attand the support group meetings, but I live in Cleveland and it is so far to drive. Plus I work late, so that's another reason.

I haven't been to any of the support meetings. By the time they start, I am just leaving work downtown. There is no way I could make it to them before they were over.

I am thinking about doing the pouch test next week to see if that will help my fill situation.

What is the pouch test? Never heard of it...

It's basically a modified post op diet that is done over five days. It seems to shrink the pouch and also help break the carb cycle. I've done it once. You can google it for the full instructions.

dont like tiffany much but like jennifer a lot. i wish they had more people who had been banded working there.

I agree. It would be nice to have more banded people working there.

Tiffany's ok. She has been nice to me for the most part.

I think she's ok, I just do think that they should have more banded people there if for no other reason than to reassure patients about what they are going through. It helps when the person you are talking to knows from experience what you are talking about as opposed to just reading/hearing about it.

Yea. Hey I'm going to nursing school, so maybe I can work there in a few years! LOL!

That would be great!

I don't know, though, it might be funny working with a surgeon who saw me naked!! HA HA!!
