Hi Barb, Please try to come to the pre op support group meetings, you will learn so much, meet new friends and the time will go by quicker. They are held Monday nights ( call the office for the dates) at the Clarion in west Springfield. Hope to see you there. Harriet

I am only 5lbs to my goal weight. The hard part now is keeping it off!!!!!!!!!!! I will go for fills if I need them, But it is less and less frequent now. If this cold weather would only go away, I could walk outside. Everyone has to remember that this is ONLY a tool. Your life style really does need to change to make this work, You can email me at mom8581@charter.net if you have any questions. Please put lap band on the subject line or I won't open it. Harriet

Hi, Call te Dr's again, and make sure that they know that you are already banded. My Dr. makes you go to a informational meeting and 2 support meetings BEFORE surgery. NOT afterwards. Good Luck.
