Hey everyone! I though it would be cool if we started a thread that just has what state and town or city where everyone lives. That way everyone can see if there is anyone else on here that lives close by without having to search through a bunch of older threads

I live in Attleboro, Mass, 10 mins north of Providence RI and 45 mins south of Boston.

JBFlorida- How are you doing so far? Have you had your first adjustment yet? who was your Doctor? Mine was Dr. Grossbard and Dr. DiCicco through JourneyLite.

Hi tiger--

My surgeon is Dr. Rehnke in St. Pete. He also works through JourneyLite, but I signed on directly with his practice (in order to spend a night in the hospital--same $$--I am self-pay). I am down from 217 to 180 and will go in for Fill #2 tomorrow. I was doing so well and the last couple of weeks--plateau'ed and eating more. I am still making good choices, but I am having More than I want to want! I want to get to 6 bites and I am done. I am recommiting myself to Phase 2 and anxious to get that scale moving. Anyone that thinks the Lap Band is the easy way out--is WRONG! You HAVE to "work it" not only physically, but mentally and emotionally.

Oops, this is supposed to be a "where are you from" thread, but my fingers took control and typed too much....not my fault.
