hi there, i'm jess, i'm 26 and i was banded on 5/16/11... i live in thousand oaks and would love to make some friends that are in the same boat. please don't be shy to contact me, i really would like to make some real life friends, banded recently or years ago.. doesn't matter. i'd prefer to make some friends close to my own age, but that isnt really very important, in the long run. thanks

Hey Jessy! I just got the band in June. So how do you feel? Do you go to support meetings?

hey there... i feel alright, but the weightloss has been totally stalled for a few weeks now, which is very frustrating... and i also havent found any support meetings.. how about you?? i'd love to have a local bandster to talk to/hang out with

The thing i noticed people from Ventura county don't like saying that they got the band. before i got the lapband it was hard finding people to talk too. Good thing I found this site now!

my family knows... none of my friends. and somehow everyone at my office found out. it's odd. i'm not totally opposed to telling my friends, i just haven't really felt too comfortable with it yet. how about you?

At my work some people know, because I told them and other just think but they havent asked me about it. My friends also know and I'm willing to talk to anyone that wants to get info.
