South AL/ South MS - Where are you?

I have been lurking around this site for weeks but not really posting. I am just curious as to why so few people from South Alabama and South Mississippi seem to be on this site. I live in Mobile County. I was banded on June 15th in Pascagaoula, MS. I sure would love to hear from y'all!!!! :(

Hey, I just posted a new thread looking for buddies from the south!! We really need to stick together. As I posted, we face different challenges that the rest of folks. Mainly our coulture and food!! Glad to see ya'll out there. Lets keep in touch. :scared2:

Hey, I'm in South Alabama, Baldwin County, Robertsdale, to be exact, about 30 miles north of the Gulf. Had my surgery 7/1/2008 at Mobile Infirmary, Dr. Snow. You? :scared2:

I'm so glad to hear from you!! We southerners need to stay in touch! I was banded Dec. 31, 2009. I've only lost 25 lbs. i'm still trying to get my fill right. I live in McComb, Ms about 90 miles north of New Orleans. 18 miles from the La. line. My Dr. is in Gonzaales, La. (Dr. Drake Bellanger) I really like him, but he is taking too long to get my fills right, or maybe I'm just frustrated.:scared2: i can still eat too much!! Let me know how you had such great success!!:cheers2:

Keep in touch.:scared2:
