I'll tell my daughter. She lives in Gig Harbor, and goes to the Port Orchard support group. DH and I will be up there in the summer, so if you are still going maybe we will join you!

Hi! Thanks for responding. We've been meeting for a couple of weeks and it's super! We decided to start the meeting at 6:30 and go until 8:00 or so... so please pass on the info!

Thanks!

Merrillee

I'll tell her. She lives out near Key Center but works in GH, so she was concerned about driving home then having to drive back into town. I think she would like the 6:30 meeting time better.

Merrillee, I had lap band by Dr. Oh in March of 2006. I just got my insurance approval for a TT. I am scheduled for April 18th. I will be just behind you. I started out at 200 lbs and am now 115 lbs. Does your TT doctor do the drain thing? Are you having the mini TT, or the full TT? How did Dr. Oh take it when you told him you were going with someone else? Has your TT doctor worked on people edband? Do you know when the St. Francis support group meets? Thank you.

Hi Cheryl! Good for you! Wow! You've done really well! As for your questions...Yes, my Dr. does the drain thing. I believe they all do. I am having a FULL tummy tuck....Dr. says he is cutting from one side of the table to the other. Tightening the tummy muscles and lipo-ing the pubic area. I didn't talk directly to Dr. Oh about changing to a PS, but the gal I talked to was fine with it. And, yes, my PS has worked on many folks with lapbands. As for the St. Francis support group, you'll need to go to the St. Francis website. I do know that there is one that many of us go to on the 3rd Monday at 6:45 at St. Joe's in Tacoma in the dining room.

Thanks for posting!
