Getting banded November 19th! Anyone in Ventura California area??

[Ashly 1]

Hey All! I'm finally getting my band done on November 19th. For me it wasn't horribly long. I had my consultation July 28th and was approved in October. I haven't gone to the support group out here just yet but I wanted to see if there is anyone in my area also getting banded or has been banded yet. I live in Ventura Ca and would love to find someone to work through all of this with.

Thanks!!:thumbup:

Hi Ashly,

My whole process started at the end of June. I am having surgery done tomorrow the 16th. =/ I am a nervous wreck right now so I keep logging on here to remind myself that I will be a happier person after all this! I live in so-cal area too. I think Ventura is about 4 hours from where I live...not too sure. Anyway...Im on here quit often reading tons of things hardly ever post things tho. Hope all goes well with your surgery!

Thatas awesome! I'm sure the surgery will go great and you will be so happy with the end result. I am in the stage of trying to make sure everything is set up for when i get home so its kinda driving me crazy lol. I go on here daily, but i really just started posting things. I have a support group that meets on thursdays so i'm thinking of going to that to meet people in the area. Good luck tomorrow!!

Congratulations on your surgery!! I live in Carpinteria, so we are practically neighbors. I don't know how helpful I'll be as I am just starting on my journey. I will be happy if I get banded by February. I hope to hear from you. It would be nice to have a local battle buddy.

Hey MegaLoud! That is awesome that you are so close to me. How far have you gotten in the process? If you need help with questions or suggestions just let me know.
