I thought the support group meeting was great last night also... Even though it is quite a drive for me... i like getting to listen and learn from others... everyone have a great evening... plum

what happened when you had your fill ??? plum

hello everyone... just dropping by to say hello... I hope you are all doing well... i just got home from my daily hour walk... OH the joys of weight loss... take care and hope to see some of you next Tuesday at support group... plum

Where is everyone ??? It sure is quiet in here.... plum:crying:

:blush:Wouldn't it be wonderful IF there were a magic wand that we could wave, and SUDDENLY the extra pounds would melt away and we would be the perfect weight ? Unfortunately.... there are NO magic wands, and the only way we can lose weight is to set ourselves to the task--body, mind, and spirit... We need to remain committed to our weight loss task and to each other-- No matter how long it takes... Anybody out there with me ??? plum:wub:

you need to call and tell them you were there... but didn't get to sign the roll... i really like this support system we are starting to build.... it really helps to have someone who has been through and knows what i am talking about and how i am feeling... my family and friends are a tremendous support and encourage me constantly... but sometimes they just don't understand... thanks taz and hopefulmom...:smile: plum

I was there also... where were you sitting ??? it ended up being OK but I drove over an hour to get there... so i was a little discouraged about it... but i did like going around the room, meeting everyone, and hearing how they were doing... I got my band in January and i went to my first support group meeting in February... it was disappointing also... we were in a room with very few chairs... you either sat on the floor or stood... i wish i could go to the Kelley's Kitchen tomorrow but i can't... i left my email address with... geezzz...I can't remember her name... guess i better go back and meet everyone again... Good Luck on your meeting with Dr. Woodman... He has been nothing but nice to me... but from the way everyone talks... well you were there... it just makes me want to do what he tells me and that way I won't have to worry about the other... thanks for emailing me... plum

As far as I know the support group meets once a month... plum

There is a support group meeting tonight @ 6:00 pm but it is at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, TN. The meetings are held in one of the seminar rooms. I have to drive 45-50 minutes to get there... This is the second support meeting since my surgery in January. I was a bit disappointed in the last one but I am going back to see if tonight is better... Almost everyone ended up sitting on the floor due to a room scheduling conflict and many of the people there had a difficult time getting up and down... the rest stood for the entire meeting... I hope this info helps you... plum:thumbup:

Dr. Woodman is my dr. Don't get me wrong he is serious about you doing your part and following the program but so far he has been very nice to me and supportive.... From everyone I have talked with about him and my own experience... he is a fabulous surgeon... I have not had any complications whatsoever... I've lost 21 pounds since surgery... so together... we must be doing something correctly...

Hi everyone... I'm from Covington,TN... close to Memphis... i had my surgery on January 29th by Dr. George Woodman... I am 21 pounds down... I got my first fill on March 13th... but i've not noticed any difference whatsoever.... glad i found this thread...

Tomorrow is my band day also... i am so excited and alittle fearful both at the same time !!! Good Luck Jazzy Girl and Sandy Beach !!!
