So does anyone every get together here? Have a support groups or just do gatherings to get out and have fun? I am 26 and I am in Mesa, Az. I looking for people that are in similar situation as I am. I have been going through some major changesin my life in the last month. Need exposure to new people.

Dont use it against me, but Im out in Buckeye (its considered east LA since its so far out here) and just got approved for lap band. So now I guess its just a matter of time. Im sure Ill need some support from somewhere, just gotta find it.

Anyone know if there are any west valley groups?

I'm 23, but I'm 100mi south... DAMN the DISTANCE. gah. BLAST!

Did you ever get a group together for the Glendale area? If so include me on the meeting.

Thanks

Hi FlirtyAngel,

I am being banded by Dr. Nirmul March 12th... I am nervous because I don't feel that I know that much about him!

Any postive or negative feedback?

I'm 26 also live in Mesa. I've yet to be banded ( just started the process, so will be in October) but always good to get a support group together

I am soooo glad to see that others are down for it. I posted the same question on another site for SC with no one interested. At least they never answered back. This is wonderful. I wish you guys well. I would gladly do it If I wasn't so far away. Stay in touch with one another good or bad. Thats what keeps you motivated. I haven't told anyone about my band and I believe that a lot others haven't either. But thats OK, No one has to know except bandsters if thats what you want.

Not sure if anyone is still interested in meeting but i'm up for it. I'm 28 and live in South Phoenix (yes, the very same that was featured in Gangland )

Looks like this thread goes back to 2008... now that you have all had the band a while, how are you doing?
