I know most of these post are a few years old but I am in Miami and am scheduled for surgery July 19, looking for someone to keep me motivated :).

I am from south Florida and had lapband on Thursday July 12, and feel great. You will be fine!!! I see your surgery is tomorrow wish I would have found you sooner but I am new to the site myself. Good luck on your new journey, while it is scary, it will be the best thing you ever decided to do. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Hi, i'm in PB County. Im 16 months out. Would love to chat with anyone close by.

Haha.. I think being held accountable will really have a great impact! Thanks for the welcomes, I really like this forum because of all the honest opinions and advice from fellow banders.

Hey all.... is this thread still alive? I just moved to Boynton Beach from Kansas City about 6 months ago. I was banded on 2/17/2011 and am looking at going to Gold Coast Bariatric Surgery for my ongoing support and fills. I'm also thinking of attending a support meeting at JFK Regional in March. The move (a major life change) totall threw me off. Need to get back on track.
