We are planning to meet for dinner at 5pm Applebee's on Rt. 741, just north of the Dayton Mall, before the Kettering Bariatrics support meeting at Sycamore Primary Care Center at 7pm. All are invited and it would be fun to see some new faces ! We will be on the right side as you first walk into Applebees. Look for us, we would love to see you !! :hungry:

REMINDER Everyone is welcome to join us for dinner at Applebee's on 741 just north of 725 at 5pm Wednesday before the support meeting.

GREAT !! Applebee's on the west side of 741 just north of the 725 Dayton Mall main intersection traffic light at 5pm. That should give us enough time to eat slowly & talk too !! If you need to be late, that's okay ! I'll be there early to ask for a table close to the front door so we will be able to see anyone coming in and we'll be there until around 6:45p. French onion Soup is delicious ! Oh, we are suppose to be eating to live and not living to eat....:clap2: I FORGOT ! LOL Everybody is welcome and I am looking forward to seeing you !

I would like to organize a dinner date either before or after the next support meeting on 4/11 at Kettering Bariatrics. How about Applebee's on 741 just north of the Dayton Mall, or O'Charley's just east of the Dayton Mall, or Ruby Tuesday's just inside the north/east wing of the Dayton Mall ? If not dinner, what about a drink after ? Let me know by either PM or email or phone. Looking forward to seeing you all ! Thanks,

What a great turnout for the support meeting in Miamisburg last evening ! Lots of LapBanders,(post and pre-op), as well as RNY ! I had a really good time meeting with BabyBoomer, Barbara, ButterflyLover, Anne, and RosieG, Rosie. It was really nice to meet such nice ladies ! Afterward, Barbara and I went to Applebee's for dinner. She is absolutely a doll !! We thought that maybe there might be some others that would like to meet afterwards next month with us. Keep it in mind, or we could even meet early before the support group meeting ! Again, it was so nice to meet with you all. Until later, Carolyn

Hi Anne, Glad you found your way here to the Ohio group. Dr. Schumacher has quite a few patients on here. I mailed you an email to your address, however, have not heard back from you. Gas pains were the most painful, however, a small price to pay for the benefits that await you with lap band surgery !! I am so thrilled to have had it done and am soooo excited about the future of losing the pounds !! I am at over 3 weeks post op and will have my first fill on March 9. I will email you again and hope you get it. Talk with you later.

Butterflylover, Anne, I can be found in the Local Lap-Band Support, USA Local Ohio Group. I have sent you a personal email and a private message. Looking forward to talking with you. Carolyn

I know of O'Charley's on 741 just north of the Dayton Mall and Ruby Tuesday's inside the Dayton Mall. There are plenty of fast food joints all around the Mall area. These are just suggestions right off hand. Hope this helps.

I am so sorry for your situation. What a bummer ! I truly hope that the insurance company gets their "shit" together ASAP so you can go on with your surgery. It is definitely worth the wait, but, insurance companies have us by the balls and we have no recourse but to wait on them ! Thinking of you.

Again, welcome to southwest Ohio ! Your input on this forum will be greatly appreciated by all of us.

Welcome to southwest Ohio, Johnny Mobs !! Haven't seen you on here before, so thought I would be the first to welcome you to the area. I was banded 2 weeks ago and am doing great. I turned 60 and decided to start a new life. This is the best decision I could possibility have chosen. Thank you for your time and consideration on this website !

I am doing fantastic ! Feeling better than "normal" and am soooo happy that it is done. Thank you, everybody, for your well wishes ! I truly appreciated the kind thoughts from you all who have already gone through this. Isn't this GREAT ?!!!!! DiscoDiva & Daughter, RosieG you all will have no problems. Dr. Schu is absolutly the best ! It is so worth any gas pains you might experience. I didn't walk as much as I should have, so I used the Gas-X cherry creme chewables. It worked for me. Paige, I would very much like to meet you all for lunch on March 5 ! I think it would be fun. Nurse Teresa can you make it ?? Baby Boomer, Barbara, is really busy with Heart month and has let me know she is doing fine. Talk w/ya later......until then.....take care.

BabyBoomer........You are missed ! Are you doing okay ?
