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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
