Looking for fellow bandsters in So. Missouri



Recommended Posts

I live near Mountain Grove Missouri and was wondering if there are any other bandsters in my area. I would love to meet with some folks and get a support group going. I know I will do better with this band if I have lots of support.

I love this board and all the people I've met here so far. I'm just hoping to get some face to face support going as well.

Let me know if you are in my area. I'd love to meet you someday.

Hi Dianna, I live in Pacific, MO. I dont know where Mountain Grove is exactly but I am free to travel most anywhere since I am retired. If you get a group together I would love to coma and meet all of you. It would be real nice having a live support group where we could all get together once a month for a meeting and to socialize. I had my band surgery just yesterday and I am doing really good. Its less invasive then what I figured and I am not having to many problems. If this is all the pain I am going to have then its no big deal. A support group where we could all get together would be very important. You have to remember that this is just a TOOL for weight management and not a :ohmy: fix to being thin, its only a TOOL and how you use it will be the most important part of recovery. I cant stress that enough. I sure hope we can get a group together it would be really nice. Keep me in your prayers and contact me when you can. I am rather new to all this e-mail stuff so I might need some help along the way but talk to me when ever you want to Roy:smile:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
