    Hello Everyone from the Panhandle. I think it would be great to meet up in January. When it gets closer to January we can chat and find a location that is close for everyone. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

    Panhandle Bansters

    Hello Molinamomma, Yes, I do attend the monthly seminar meeting at SHH but it is geared mostly toward gastric by pass. The meeting in December is potluck. Everyone brings a dish and there will be a door prize given away. Also a protein rep., with Max Muscle (?). I do not know if I will be able to make the one in December. If anyone is interested in having a meet and greet anywhere in the Panhandle area let me know and I will gather up all the lapbanders I know in this area. Maybe in January we can meet at Cracker Barrell or some rest. You may email me at vanceemilton@bellsouth.net

I would really like to meet everyone in this area.

  13. Hello,

    My name is Patricia Vance and I was wondering if you could have any information on the Seminar in Dallas for Lapband. I am interested in going but do not know the dates or the price. If you have any information please email it to me at vanceemilton@bellsouth.net

    Thank You,

    Pattie

  14. Hello Sissy,

    My name is Patricia Vance. I live in Navarre, FL and I had lapband surgery by Dr. Jeffrey Lord in Pensacola, FL. I would be interested in staying in contact with you because there are very few people in this area that has had the lapband. Most of Dr. Lord's patients have had gastric by pass surgery.

  15. Hello, My name is Patricia and I am 48 years old, I have a great marriage of 27 years, I have two wonderful children, Gina age 26 and Wayne age 22. I live in Navarre, FL. I have been over FLUFFY all my life and I come from a FLUFFY family. I had lapband surgery on June 28th by Dr. Jeffrey Lord. I look forward to talking to all the Super Sized Bandster and have a couple of questions. (1) Do super-size bandsters lose more weight per week with the lapband since we have more to lose or is it the same? (2) Recommendations for exercize? (3) Anyone have surgery on 7/28/2007? Thanks for your time, Pattie

    June 2007 Bandster Calender

    Hello my name is Patricia Vance and I had lapband surgery June 28, 2007. Please add my name to the calendar.
  17. My name is Pattie and Yes my doctor prefered for me to have the By pass surgery. I also am self pay and the Lapband was $19,000 and the by pass surgery was $7,000 more. I had my surgery on June 28th and I received a handbook from my doctor and 80% of pertains to By pass. If you have not had your surgery yet go to a book store and ask for books on Lapband.

    Don't be so hard on yourself, remember beauty comes from the heart. Also they say that the TV adds at least 10lbs to your body. Cheer up!!

    Medic Alert ID or not?

    I purcased a medical alert bracelet today from www.bodyilluminations.com and when my order was received the owner Hollie had a few questions about my order and I called her at (954)525-6995 and she was very helpful and saved me money from my original order. The bands are interchangeable and I put Gastric Lapband No Tube without Scope. Check out the website she has alot to chose from. I choose the double stand medical alert bracelet with a charm.
  21. Hello Everyone, I hope to be joining the club soon. My doctor wants me to have the By Pass but I am going with the Lapband. I am 48 years old. I have been fluffy all my life. I was on the slimfast diet and lost 60 lbs but got sick and had to be put on steriods so I gained all my weight back. Current weight is 328. I have had inital consult, blood test, Chest Xray, EKG, and had the first visit with the Nutri. I am self pay and it will cost me $18,000. I can't wait until it is my turn.
  22. Hello Outdoorgrl, I am from Pensacola, FL and I know that Dr. Jeffrey Lord will not do fills if you go to Mexico. You may check with the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. I can't wait unitl I have to worry about a fill. I have not been banded yet. I go for my first visit on March 17th.

    Dr. Caluda, Pensacola Florida..

    Hello Sissy, Please keep in touch with me and let me know which doctor you decided to go with. Dr. Lord's office moved my appointment up to March 17th. I was told that Dr. Lord prefers to do Gastric By Pass surgery instead of the band.
  24. Hello Guys, My name is Patricia and I am in the group of people who are TOO FLUFFY. I hope to begin my journey on March 27th the day I see Dr. Lord to see if I can get a Lapband. I was 327lbs went on Slimfast lost 60lbs and gained it back. I also am glad you started this thread. I will need everyone to help me thru this journey so everyone stay around.
