Hello,

I was banded on 7/2/08. I was looking for soemone to chat with regarding your experience with the Lap Band.:biggrin:

Welcome and Congratulations - I was banded last October in Albany. What part of GA are you from? I live in South Georgia in Douglas,sort of in the middle of no where. I love my band, it's been a great journey so far, better than I ever expected. You might want to check out the Georgia site under local usa support groups. You'll find quite a few in the atlanta area and then there's a group from the Albany area under special interest groups called Bagnatos Bandits.

Since you were just banded 2 weeks ago, you're probably just starting your mushies or soft foods- is that correct? Doctors vary on this. How is that going for you? A lot of people don't loose much during this time, so don't worry if you don't. They say it's only important to heal properly. If you have any questions, just ask. Good luck.
