Where are all the Michigan people at??

Those of you in Jackson, near Jackson, etc... There's a support group in Brooklyn, MI but it's not specific to Bandsters. It's for all Bariatric patients I believe.

We could certainly start one though. I'm about 30 miles from Jackson. I'm about 10 miles south of Chelsea, in a town called Manchester.

Where would a central location for all of us be?

I am about the same distance from Chelsea as you are except I'm north, in gregory. Maybe we can get together in Chelsea some time. My e-mail is my user name at Yahoo.com. Feel free to e-mail me any time. Any one else too, who would like to meet up.

I used to work in Manchester (when you were about 1 year old:biggrin:) and lived in Brooklyn. I live all the way over in Coldwater now.:smile2:

Anyone over here near Coldwater?

[bpenney 1]

Bob, I lived in Coldwater for two years. I was not happy there... lol...

BBK, Grass Lake would work for me. How about you Kirajh? Grass Lake is about a 20-25 minute drive for me. Where in Grass Lake would you suggest, BBK? I'm not too familiar with the area.

Grass Lake works for me, too. I'm about 25 minutes from there.

I live in Tecumseh and would also like to meet with some fellow banders in the area. Meeting in Chelsea or Grass Lake works fine for me. Just let me know when and where.

Thanks. Leah

I'm from Michigan. My boyfriend was banded November 10, 2006 by Dr. Deol. He's lost about eighty pounds, but is now "stuck" and can't loose anymore weight. He is at his maximum fill of 10cc's. He can't get anymore fills or he will be totally restricted. The band is still in place. He's frustrated as well as I am. Has anyone had a road block like this?

There is a cardinal rule for weight loss. "calorie counting" For a woman

its 1200 to loose, 1500 to maintain, and 1800 to gain. He should check with his Dr., or go on line and do some research in calorie counting for men. This will help, I can't say how much,,, I'm not a DR..

I try to stay between 700-900 myself. It still takes time. Good Luck.

Julia thanks! You beet me to it. I'll be there. Have you been to the 50 and over gang. I got on about 5 days ago. This site jumps. I've not seen one jump like that before. They even have step by step instructions on how to get your Ticker up. Finally got mine up. Took me a long time, but it.s done. See you at the meeting. What time?

Shirley...

[54Shirley 105]

Hope to see you there.

Shirley
