Hey everyone! I am in Tampa and new to the site. I have surgery the end of the month July 31st. I am getting nervous! Are there any local support groups in our area for after the surgery?

Hi,

I'm from Lake City,near gainesville. i started my pre-surgery diet march 3rd and had my band done march 16th,2009. i lost 20 lbs on the pre-op:thumbup: and now i have lost a total of 72 lbs in almost 4 1/2 months. my age is 56:mad: so age doesn't really matter and also i do no exercise as i have real bad knees.

hope to lose enough wt. so i can try walking in my neighborhood and lose even more.:huh2:

It is great to see all the new Floridians on here. I am in Jacksonville.
