Hi, Kristin, I just noticed that your note is dated 2007! Did you have the surgery? How are you doing? I'm getting the lap band through Mercy Hospital and Dr. Machado. Mercy requires 6 months of meetings, etc. I am done with all that and will hopefully get the lap band in a few weeks! I am so glad it is almost here. Assuming you got the surgery and have had the lap band for 4 years, I would love to hear from you regarding your journey since lap band. Sincerely, Mavis

I am in month 3 of my 6-month mandatory "counseling" before surgery. Would love to hear from anyone who lives in Sacramento to maybe start exercising/walking/biking together. Hate doing it alone! And how neat to chit chat with someone who is doing the lap band too, while exercising?

Thank you, April, for responding to my inquiry regarding anyone going through the lap band experience in Sacramento. I did not know of any support groups, so am very much looking forward to your support group on Feb. 19th. I am now in my 5th month of the 6-month pre-surgery period, so am looking forward to hearing from people who have been banded....suggestions regarding nutrition, exercise, whatever! See you on the 19t!
