Hi so very glad to meet somebody from Noblesville. I'm on my 7th Day of my band. I know I'm just a baby but I want to do it right. While I am still a little tender I'm feeling good. I want friends that have done it that can share experiences the good and the bad. Who did your band? I had my band done at Community North Dr McEwan. I am so ready for something more than broth and shakes.

I am engaged, been with the same guy for about 6 years will probably do a fall wedding. I have a 15 yea old son, and 3 fur babies.

Hi you two! I'm in Columbus. I was banded 3 years ago and am so glad to see new life on the Indiana forum! I lost 35 pounds and want to get serious about doing this right and losing the rest. Barb, I remember when I could finally eat mashed potatoes- it was heavenly. Hang in there - not much longer!

Okay - I just realized the posts I commented on are from May. I hope you two are doing well! My name is Clindy - I'm originally from Greencastle. Anyone in Indiana interested in bringing this forum back to life? As well as your lap band journey? I'm looking for people who don't want to make excuses and complain about the band. It's a tool, just like the scale. It's up to us to do the work, but if we get our heads in the right place, we can do this right and Celebrate our successes...and take each day step by step together- sharing struggles and finding answers - then moving forward.
