Cleveland R U there????

[scanlon21 0]

I am all for support and get togethers -- I am in mayfield once a month to see my oncologist -- in Cancer remission for 1 1/2 years now. But banded for about 6 months. Not happy with my weight loss but still working on it ,

I think the three of us are all within a 20 minute drive from each other more or less and I am willing to drive. Perhaps a Saturday afternoon for coffee or something similar might be fun if you are free. If we can work something out, we can send contact information as a private message.

I am a little further along in banding but will definitely need to take off a few pounds post pregnancy. It is wonderful to be able to support each other through our journeys no matter how far along we are post banding. :0)

[HeatherO 7]

I can't meet until 12:00 or any time thereafter, can we move out the time a little?

[scanlon21 0]

[HeatherO 7]

1:00 is perfect for me as long as it is good for a_thinner_me/Karen then we are all set.

Hi Clevelanders-

I am newly banded Sept 17--and was hoping to get in touch with bandsters from my area. Also, was wondering if any of you know of any Doctors in the area that will do follow up care/fills???

Hope to hear from someone :cursing:

Hello and welcome. A_thinner_me, scanlon21 and I have met before for coffee before in the Willoughby location. We were hoping to set something up again very soon. Perhaps you can join us next time.

I travel to Columbus for fills/aftercare. My doctor does accept new patients but there is a new patient fee to join the group. I go through Cincinnati Weight Loss which you can find online.

When I was first looking for a new doctor, I also found that Dr. Chlysta based out of Akron General will also do fills/aftercare. However appointments were $500 each so I didn't consider going to him. There are also other groups in the Cleveland area that do bariatric care (St. Vincents hospital has commercials from time to time). Perhaps a couple of quick phone calls might lead you in the right direction.

Good luck in your search. :0)

I just discovered this location specific area this morning. Are any Clevelanders still active on this site? I am not yet banded but I hope soon (appt @ Cleve Clinic this Friday).
