robin,........thanks for writing i'm so excited i can't hardly stand it. march 21 is just around the corner, can't come soon enough for me. dr. webber in detroit mi. is doing my surgery. i live in south dakota and they have a six month waiting period here. so, i'm going to detroit. i haven't told too many people about this surgery, because they will all think i'm nuts. nobody thin knows how we feel about our weight problems. so i just dont say anything to anyone. when they start seeing me lose weight them maybe i'll tell them. some people u tell just don't get it. you have done very well with your weight lost and good luck to you too. i'm sure we will see each other online from time to time. keep in touch..........sue

Sue from Yankton,

I would like to hear how things are going for you. I am from a small town close to Yankton and didn't want to tell a lot of people about my decision to have the lap band surgery. Are you going to any support groups?

skminnie.......oh where are u from? I'm doing just great and feel really good. No I'm not going to any support groups because Sioux Falls is just to far to drive. Idon't think there is one around here anywhere. I'm still on full liquids, but never hungry anyways. I drink alot of liquids and that seems to be enough for me right now. I've lost 20 lbs already and it sure makes a difference I can't believe it. How are you doing? I hope good. HEY. lets keep in touch and we can be our own support group.........Heres my e-mail address.......s.klemp1949@hotmail.com..........thanks for caring....sue

I am from Springfield and I was considering going to a support group in Mitchell. THis just isn't something that you can talk to your friends about. I doubt that many of mine would understand. I am 6 days post surgery and feeling stronger everyday.
