I am going to my first lap band support group meeting tonight. I am glad that the office is seperating out band from bypass. Looking forward to meeting some people in person and hearing how they are doing. The office requires 2 meetings prior to scheduling the surgery. they offer 1 band only group, and there are 2 combined group meetings a month as well.

I was also required to go to 2 support groups prior to surgery. The office I go to only has combined groups which I didn't mind so much. I found them so helpful that I continued to go to them every week before surgery and now even after ( I even got someone to drive me to the support group the night after surgery). I hope you find the groups as helpful as I do!! Good Luck in your journey!

So much time of the orientation was spent on bypass that I kind of felt cheated. Just happy that once a month there is the choice of only bandsters. The bypass people get there own meeting as well, then there is also 2 combined meetings a month.
