Looking for Lap-Band buddies in Florida!!!

Hello My name is Roxanna. I'm a nurse here in central Florida. I am looking to make some new Lap-Band friends here locally in Florida. I will be having the Lap-band surgery very soon. Have you had the lap-band surgery? Are you considering it? Let me know I would love to chat with all of you. Thanks.

I'm going to St. Augustine with my friends from work tmo, but maybe we could get coffee Saturday morning. You gotta think of your band as your own personal power tool to get what you really want. Has it been x rayed for proper placement lately? Deb

I live in Deltona....not too far away and work in Longwood!! Cool....some close!!!

God Bless,

Melody

Banded 3/20/06 -95lbs :)

Hi! Borders or Chilis or Starbucks are good places for coffee. Is 10:00 too early? Melody, you are welcome to join us! Deb

Deb, I am really sorry but I have had something very unexpected come up and I am going to need a rain check. My sister and brother in law from WPB are coming in to surprise my Dad { we live together} for the day! I was really looking forward to meeting you and possibly Melody. Let's see if we can get our rain check in before Xmas, that way we each get a new friend as a present to ourselves! Ho Ho Ho!

Looking for Key West Bandsters

Hi - I'm in Key West - actually a little farther up the Keys, but I work in Key West.

Key West and the lower keys, their are a number of us that have had WLS we get to group up and compare notes sometimes. We will go to Outback Steak House and invite unbanded others to eat the leftovers. We have fun. New people are welcome. I was a leftover eater for several years.

Absolutely love Key West. You are so lucky to live there! Would love to meet sometime to compare notes and talk and laugh. Can't eat to much, but could meet at Papas or Margravitaville!!!! My hub will eat our leftovers!When you lose 80lbs. youwill be leaping all over!!!! Deb

I will post the next social when it is set-up. We have a nervious pre-band person in Steve. He and his wife own and run Boston Bricks on Stock Island. He is looking for information and help to calm his nerves.

Hi KWHenryKerr -

I'll look forward to your post. It will be nice to meet some other people down here who have had it done or are considering it.
