I live 5 minutes away from the Denny's in Culver City. If anyone is serious about meeting I am game for a meet and greet starting this coming Saturday 2/21/2010 at 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM. If you plan on attending please RSVP me at truecolors20@yahoo.com

I really want to proactively take the lead here and get a support group going in Los Angeles and meet every week to discuss a particular topic related to the band.

I figure the first meeting we can introduce ourselves and discuss our decisions for being banded, when we were banded, where we were/will be banded, what type of band we have and our journies thus far.

I seem to be very late to this thread, but after being banded 11/2008 I'm realizing now that I need some support.

If any of you are still out there and reading this, I'd love to do a meetup. I live in the Valley, but am amenable to driving over the hill.

Thanks.

are there any support groups in the LA area that any one knows of? The Marina and Beach cities are ideal but I am willing to travel to other parts of LA if needed.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
