MsFlyGirl.Congrats on getting banded.Who is your Dr?

We Mississippians are out there..we just have to russle em up!!

hi, glad to have you here. i am not banded yet hoping to be soon. sandie

My Dr. is Dr. Madan. I was banded two weeks ago and I am still tired and not able to get much down. I think I am at the point where I am regreting this. I hope it passes soon.

I am a Mississippi Bandster banded in Europe- how weird is that! I am going to start using Dr. Madan in Memphis for follow up. I live in Southaven also. Magnolia Miss where do you live? MSFlygirl, you will not be regretting this when you start loosing that weight! I was banded in March and have lost 40 pounds.

HI...I am in Ellisville..that is between Laurel and Hattiesburg. Its so nice to meet all of you!

Flygirl..I think your mood will pass. Right now we are in the worst weeks of the band Im told...Please hang in there.

I know exactly where Ellisville is? My grandmother lives in Glade but has an Ellisville zip code. Do you know any McBride's they are a large group?

This is so wild I teach or taught at the school in Glade. I m moving to a school closer to me next year.

I do know a lot of McBrides.

My goodness..you and I might be kin!!

Well it really is a small world isnt it! Terri are you feeling better now that you have recovered from the pneumonia?

Glad you Mississippi girls are finding this thread. It is good to know there are bandster buddies all around us. Good luck to all of you !! Keep in touch with your progress and those of you that arent banded good luck with getting your surgery and your continued success as well.

I've met Madeline"s Mom and I hope to get to meet some more of you mississippi bandsters soon. Sandie 1958 your not far from me at all .... when we getting together???? Heard anything on your band date???

I joined the "band" wagon July 20, 2005. I am down 30 pounds and really

feel great. I am just now eating solids. I haven't gone for a fill yet. I don't

feel as tight as I did right after surgery, but still can't eat as much.

How much can ya'll eat at a normal meal (volumn-wise) now. I hope that I am

not overeating. I live in the Jackson area.

Let me hear from ya'll.

I'm praying for all effected by the Hurricane! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

I eat about 3 to 4 oz a meal and don't eat between meals. I also seem to not feel up as well I am now in my 4th week and have lost 26 lb. I eat just what the doctor ordered.
