Hey everyone,

I'm Tiffeny, from Westminster. I am starting a monthly support meeting for my area. I would like to invite all who would like to attend. The first meeting is schedule for Thursday June 25th @ 7pm at my home in Westminster.

This will be completely informal. I'm newly banded only 5 months. I'm looking to meet others in my area that can relate to what I am going through.

Please let me know if you are interested and I will send you out all the info. :grouphug:

I would like to join you! Please send me the details. I could really benefit from talking to other bandsters. I have been having a hard time.

Tara,

We are having it at my house in Westminster.

Of course, we would love for you to join us. I'm so excited this support group is really growing.

Can't wait to meet everyone and have a great gathering.

lol, you wrote Tarbell like the Realtor. *snicker*

I am still planning on coming. Can't wait to meet some people who are going thru exactly what I am.

Edited to add - My boyfriend Carl would like to come with me, at least for the first meeting. I hope this is ok.

The more the merrier. Carl is welcome to join us too. It is so nice to see so many spouses that show their support too.

I got your email, Tiffeny. I will be there. I am very excited. Thanks for letting us meet at your home.

Would you like us to bring something? Food or what not? And then that begs the question what type's of food should we bring to a lapband support meeting? A 12 pack of protien shakes? ROFL, LOL. But really, would you like me to bring something?

I am planning on joining and I also let another local bander on here know about it and he sounds pretty interested as well.

No need to bring anything. I was thinking that maybe in the future we could bring a favorite receipt to share, something low fat that you really enjoy. I really don't want to talk about weightloss as we sit around snacking on food. I think it defeats the purpose of why we are meeting LOL

Hey for those that have been banded for a while, not the newbies, bring a before picture. I know everyone has atleast one picture that made you say...."I need to do something about my weight". I think it is great encouragement for everyone to see where we started and how far we have come.

I'm so looking forward to meeting everyone tonight. If anyone has anymore questions before meeting tonight, please call me. I don't know that I will be back online later and I would hate to miss anyones questions before that.
