hi everyone. i am Diana and new. i was just banded and and just joined. my first week with the band was hard but now i am in week two and it is getting much easier. I am looking for a group to join but there is so many. can anyone give any suggestions to a group.

hi diana,

welcome to lapband-land. glad you are on the way up with your recovery.

generally, in the beginning, people join the group of people that are banded the same month as you. this way you can check and see how all of you are doing and any issues rise and potential solutions.

of course you can join any special interest groups but sept 09 group may be a good starting point.

under the general forums, you can find the groups by month

good luck with your band

Hello Diana and Congrats! I'm just starting week 3 post op. Week 2 was great! I was able to start moving normally again! lol What do you mean about groups to join? On this site? or in your area?

hi diana,

i found the group from your month. it is called

"september 2009 band date"

hope this helps

Hello Diana, Welcome from another Diana!

September 2009 Band Date

Hi Diana, have you added your date to this post? There are a lot of us going through the same journey, banded 09/09. I think you asked about week 3 in another post? I'm looking forward to low-fat ricotta with marinara and a sprinkle of parmesan for week three. Also fat free refried beans with cheese and maybe salsa.
