Anyone in St. Louis.

I am in South County. (3min from the mall)

I am looking for some people in my area. I am 24. I was banded in June 05. I had no success due to my own fault.

Anyone around me? How was your success? My Dr was Dr. Wagner.

I will be at the Support Group meeting next week on the 20th.

My next fill is on March 6th also Cosmo. Maybe I will see you there.

I hope to be at that support group meeting. It depends on if I can talk DD into driving me there. It pretty much depends on how I feel.

I will not be at the support group on the 20th due to the fact of what time they hold it and traffic getting there. I wish I had the time to get there. As far as getting a fill on March 6th- I go at 8:50 am. I will be on the look out for other bandsters. Later-- StlouisGal-- how did your surgery go?

I'm home and banded. Hospital experience was great! Not a lot of pain, just achy and hard to get up and down. Only needed a couple of doses of pain killer so I think I'm doing pretty good. If I can get a ride to the support group meeting I'll be there. Not sure I'll be up to driving by then. I think DD will bring me.

Happy to hear you made it through just fine. Glad you had a good experience. I drove on Monday after a friday surgery. But everyone is different. Take it easy. A

Hi guys, Happy to hear you had a good experience with your surgery St.Louisgal.Hope to see you at meeting on 20th, Brandy [which is my B-day} I'm looking forward to it. Anyway, my paperwork is tied up at dr's office but should get sent off to insurance this week. Will keep you posted, JohnC

Getting the insurance paperwork sent, accepted, approved, etc. is the worst part of the whole deal. It took the Dr's office three weeks to send mine because they were looking into things. I guess that is to make sure the surgery is safe. That is why DePaul has such an excellent record I think. Call them about once a week to make sure you aren't on a desk somplace forgotten.

Take care!

I'm glad to hear you are home and doing well, StLouisGal. I'll be about two weeks behind you. I'm so excited!!

You'll breeze through this! Just relax and enjoy the ride.

I am definately coming this week. I have a sitter lined up and everything.

Hope to see you there John. Hope you can make it STLGAL. BTW what is your name? I like talking to ppl with their name.

If you cant make this months maybe I will see you at next months.

My name is Pat. I think I have it worked out so I can be there. DD had a meeting she can't get out of until six so DH is going to have to forgo church this one time unless I decide I can drive myself. As good as I feel right now that is a good possibility.

Where is it? The May Center?

Yes the May Center. Starts at 5:30pm

Where do you live? Are you close to DePaul?

Did you guys go tonight.

I was there. It was packed not a seat in the house. I was surprised. All the other ones I went to only had maybe 20 people.

Yes, I was there, sitting along the back wall. Sorry I didn't catch up with you. I thought it was pretty interesting even though I don't typically like such large crowds. I wish they would split it into a support group for bands and bypass.

I live south city. About thirty minutes from DePaul in good traffic.
