Hi everyone,

I haven't been focused lately and am trying to get myself back on track. Would love to hear from any other CT Lapbanders out there. How has everyone been doing? Hope to hear from someone in the same boat as I am. Take care everyone.

There is a person in the Yahoo Groups that lives over in the North Windham a suburb of Willimantic that is looking for a support group that would be close to Hartford, Ct. She see Dr. Amy Barba, but because of current conditions she is unable to get to the doctor and have here band checked for a leak and to get it fixed and a fill. I do not have many details at this time. I had told here about this site and she did not know about it. I gave here the information and told here I would post here and see if any one could help and if there was a support group in Hartford. If anyone can help please let me know and I will forward it on to here.

Thanks

Chris

Hi! He's my doctor, too. I was seeing Dr. Yood at first, and he even performed my surgery, but he has since left Orchard Medical. Do you like Dr. Nazdam? I've only seen him one time. He did a floral fill under an xray. It helped me to begin weight loss again after 6 months of staying the same weight. Good luck with your weight loss. When was your surgery? And how have you been doing?

YES he is very kind

I had my surgery on 9/9/08. I have lost 60 lbs. since then. I started at 281. I feel so much better since losing 60, and I no longer am diabetic. I still keep a close watch on what I eat though. I try to stay away from sweets. I didn't have a problem with them until I got banded. Oh well.

Hi CT Lapbanders!

Checking in...haven't been here in a while...

Just completed the Couch-to-5k running program and ran my first 5k race last Saturday. Finished the race (second to last) and was very happy to do so!

Continuing my training so I can plan a 10k in the Spring of 2010.

I'm closing in on my 1 year bandiversary (Nov 17th) and working hard to be at my ever-changing goal weight by then. I'd like to be at 170 - family and friends are telling me to stop now...still taking a minimal level of diabetes medicine, and that's my barometer for stopping the weight loss. Once I'm off the meds completely, I'll consider stopping the effort to lose and concentrate on maintaining and reshaping my newly smaller body.

Lots of work to do in the abdominal region - didn't know what an impact the weight loss would truly have until it happened - and it happened so gradually that I just looked down one day and here's all this excess skin and soft spots! :crying::eek:

Anyway - glad to see other CT bandsters checking in and doing well. Hope to see some of you at the next support group meeting in New Haven if you are close enough - it will be on Wednesday, November 4th. :thumbup:
