So far, you're the only one I've heard from. Might be a good idea to start a new thread.

OK, so do we want to do Tuesday, November 24 at 6 PM at Picadilly iin Gretna? Everybody up for this day and time?

So, let's pick a day and time and post here on the board. Those who can make it will. My vote is for Saturday, November 28, at 5 PM, Picadilly in Gretna.

I've got the gurgling in the throat too along with the burping. But, I've found I burp if I eat too fast and don't thoroughly chew. Then the burping seems to help move things around so nothing gets stuck.?? Weird, I know.

I think I'm seeing six of us here? I think that's a large enough group to meet and talk. I'll work on finding a restaurant where we can all get to and set up something.

Totally agree with getting together and meeting. Would love to participate. I see we're kinda all over south Louisiana (Slidell, Plaquemines, Westbank and New Orleans). Let's pick maybe a Saturday evening or even Sunday afternoon(?) and some place maybe central to all of us? We can bring our spouses so they can pick up on some of the new ways we live now.

Great to hear from you. I was banded November 3 then had some complications and slipped into a coma for ten days, nothing to do with the surgery, just my body had problems. I'm now 70 pounds lighter and feel good. I still have problems with vomiting but I can relate that to something I am doing wrong like not chewing enough or eating too fast. Still have troubles with red meats but chicken seems to do fine for me.

I was banded on November 3 at West Jeff by Dr. Belott, same practice as Dr. Treen.

Hi - I'm on the westbank of New Orleans. I was banded in November 2007 and so far am down 70 pounds. Do we have any westbankers here?

Hi to all. I'm new to this board. I was banded on November 5, 2007 and so far have lost 40 pounds. This is great for me!! I just went to the doctor's this week and received my first fill.
