Does anyone know of a support group that has a good turn out, a clothing exchange, and tips to share in this area??

I would like to become a leader in my area for a local chapter. How do i get started??

I got banded today. I am having some gas pains and walking around as much as I can. Everything went great. Dr. Bagnato is my surgeon and he is great. I am excited to see my results. I will take a pic on the 4th of every month to see my progress. Hope to find a support group and clothing exchange in Warner Robins, Ga area...or at least see who would like to get one started.

Thought about making a Georgia Bandsters facebook page.....we can share pics, recipes, support, clothes etc. Also, maybe we can set up some events to get together with others who have had WLS in our local areas. Would anyone be interested in that?

That is awesome, Kyle. You look great! Keep up the good work! I am down 16 in the first 6 weeks. I am very happy with that. I will post a pic on here shortly so everyone can see my progress along the way as well. SweetGeorgiaT: I am very excited for you. I am glad I had it done. Remember to walk as much as you can to get rid of the gas afterwards. And make sure you get your Water down everday. Those 2 things will help you out alot. You will do great!

It took about a week to get it all gone for me. However, I did end up back at the hospital for dehydration and a UTI. But all is well now. I feel great! Yesterday was the 4th, so it was weigh in day. I lost 16 pounds for the first month. I get my first fill on March 19. So that will be the next step. Just take it day by day. It will get better and better. Congrats and you will do great!

I just had my surgery on Feb 5. I live in bonaire. Feel free to msg me. I am doing the 5k Run or Dye in Macon in March. I recommend trying this one. I have done it before. Lots of fun. Www.runordye.com.

Thanks everyone. A little more sore today but hopefully it will start going down the more I walk.

I will get banded on Feb 5, 2014 by Dr. Bagnato. I live in Bonaire. I would like to talk and get support along the way..
