I would love to meet for coffee on Sunday but I can't confirm yet. It's grave visiting day (for Ukrainians - my husband is Ukrainian) and I may have to go with my husband to visit the graves as well as the extended family in Andrew.

Count me in. That will be the day before I head off to get my band! It would be great to get together with those who can make it out before I leave. -=crosses fingers and toes.... eyes...legs and arms=- I hope to meet you then! Come on every body before summer hits and we are all to busy getting our new bods out in the sunshine!!

I also want to say that Cat and I had a great telephone visit earlier today. It sure felt good to have a voice to chat with and that we both have the band in common. Thank you again Cat for the visit!!

I would love to get together that day and you could all sing me happy birthday. HOWEVER... we are having my son's first birthday party that day so I will have to bow out.

Hi Everyone,

I haven't been to this website for months, so sorry for not responding earlier.

I would definitely be interested (ecstatic actually) to meet some local bandsters!

- Where in Alberta are you located? Okotoks

- What sort of functions would you expect from the support group (specify all that apply):

a. informal sharing of experiences and information yes

b. organized workshops perhaps

c. group counselling not so much

d. retreats perhaps

e. events, please describe perhaps - maybe an exercise weekend away

f. other, please specify walks, exercise buddies, e-mail buddies, etc

- If the support group is facilitated in your city/town, how frequently would you like the group meet - monthly, every other month, quarterly? monthly or weekly would be a good start

- If the support group is facilitated in a city/town other than yours (say within 100 to 400 km), would you still be interested in attending some of the gatherings or organized activities? perhaps (Calgary meetings would definitely work for me)

- Would you be opened to rotational gatherings at members' houses (which means that we rotationally host a gathering at our homes)? sure

- Would you be opened to gathering at a public place (like a restaurant)? sure

- Would you be opened to gathering at a functional meeting site such as a pre-booked meeting room in a school, hotel, etc.? sounds so formal (and more expensive), but maybe

- Are there suggestions or information that you would like to share? I had my surgery in Mexico, so if anyone out there would like more info just let me know.

Hopefully more people get on this "band"wagon soon!!

PS. I've learned that I have a hole in my band somewhere. Has anyone out there gone through surgery to repair their band?

Thanks,

BlueShadow (Richelle)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
