Hope your appointment went well today. Keep us posted.

Well I guess it went well, he didn't say anything that I din't already know. He said it will probably be the end of January for my surgery. Only because I need to get the approval from insurance:rolleyes: Please keep your fingers crossed for me. See ya all @ the next support group.:)

Hi All, I was banded in Mexico and doing pretty well. I sure am glad to find there is a group out there for support. I can't seem to get my schedule to fit with the support group but I would love to get together some time. I walk the Valley Mall on a regular basis. It would be nice to have someone else to share with.

Kaelin's G-ma,

It's great to hear from another bandster. I also live in the valley. Our next meeting is on Tuesday January 8th. If you would like to carpool with us you are welcome to join us.

How are you doing since your banding? And where do you go for your fills? Just curious.

Ari

Hey Lisa,

Good luck with your fill on the 3rd, I am having mine on the 4th. Drop me a line and let me know how you did, and how much he gave you. I hope it gives me restriction cause I am able to eat entirely too much.

Happy New year,

Ari

I can't believe you two are getting fills. Let us know how it goes. My postop appt went well. I was down 15. WOW. Would love to see that continue to go that fast. But doubt it will. I will be thinking of you for your fills. Don't forget you can always come see me at my office in the school across the street. I would love a visitor.

Got my first fill on the 3rd. Didn't hurt at all, just a little prick. Very excited to continue on my adventure, have a great week and see you all at the support group @Holy Family, 6pm on the 8th of Jan. Have a super weekend!!!
