I'm from around Dayton, just wandering if any one has been banded in my area!:crying:

Hi, Kelly!

I'm from just south of Dayton. I got the band on St. Patrick's Day.

Banded on Jan. 16, 2009, also located south of Dayton, banded at WPAFB. Live around the Franklin area........

Hi Ladies, I too was banded at WPAFB on 1/15/09. I live in west chester not far from all you,

I'm about 40 miles north of Dayton, banded in West Chester on 04/10/09.

I had Dr Dock, who was your doctor?

Hi, Kelly!

Hi Moondust, I haven't forgotten about getting together at the Dayton Mall, was just there today for a quick shopping spree (15 mins.) lol, but had to hurry home to fix dinner! See you soon! Jan

Hello everyone,

I live just South of Dayton. About 10 miles from the Dayton Mall area. I am being banded June 1st @ Miami Valley Hospital by doctor Mujeeb Siddiqui.

Hi there, my name is Amie and we will be moving there in June. I see some of you have been banded at Wright Patt. That was one of my questions! lol Are the docs good? Do they do fills there? We are transferring there from Utah, and I love my surgeon here and will be sad to leave, but were looking forward to our move to Ohio. We bought a house in Centerville, after a quick house hunting trip to the area. How do you like the base, the hospital and the area? Are there local support groups or do you all ever get together? Thanks so much, cant wait to get there and meet new people!

Hi Amie,

I was banded at Wright Pat on January 16, 09. I have Dr. Dock. I really like him a lot and I have not heard of any complaints about him. There are two Lap Band docs but can't remember what the other doctors name is, sorry!

I live in Franklin Township which is about a 40 minute drive to Wright Pat. We use the base hospital for all of our medical issues and have never had problems there. I found out at one of the Lap Band meetings and Dr. Dock was the speaker that they don't do tummy tucks, which I want done eventually. But, they will do them if you pay for it. hmmmmm, have to check that out, when I have my weight off. Dr. Dock does my fills and he goes SLOW at this, 1/2cc at a time, that is it!!!

I think I am up to 2cc right now and doing okay, still not at the sweet spot thou. Good luck on your move and maybe we can meet someday! Jan

Wintobethin,

Thanks so much for the reply. Its great that there are docs on base that do the band. Your progress so far is great! You should be so proud! How far is Franklin Twnshp from Centerville? How do you like the base? I've heard its a little different from most bases. Ive been banded almost 8 months, and its the greatest thing I've ever done. Right now I'm at a little plateau so I'm going in for a fill today! Gotta get back on track!

I live in the dayton mall area, i was just banded may 14 by Dr.Schumacher..i have a 10cc band , had my first fill of 3cc's june 8. very little restriction...exercising everyday, eating right ...i have lost only 12lbs..starting weight 244 and goal is 135~140...im going to need a push, shove every now and then.

Hi, I'm from Beavercreek. I've been a slow loser and have had to have my band replaced once because of dilation, but I'm getting closer to my goal and it's very exciting! It would be great to get together with a local group and compare notes.

I agree...I know I could use all the support I can get to keep on the right path.
