pmloveland 0 Posted March 8, 2006 hello, i am new to this forum. i am being banded on march 13. i live in desoto co. and dr madan in memphis, tn is my surgeon. i am looking for some type of support group. i tried the support group at the surgeon's office and did not enjoy it. i want to find something online and with someone in my area. this is the only place i saw someone from the southaven area. i was excited when i stumbled across this, but dont see too many posts on the site. i am sure i will have 100 questions before and mainly after the surgery. i will send my email if someone wants to talk. i am glad to find this site. pam:cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mustang sally 0 Posted April 22, 2006 Ok, I changed my log in name (for the better). I was pmloveland. I am doing well since my surgery. I am down 23 lbs and feel great. My fill will not be until 8 weeks due to me being out of town the next 2 weeks. Thanks for all the support. Have any of Dr Madan's patients been to a support group meeting at his office? I went one time and did nto like it. Everyone at that meeting was a bypass patient and I did nto have alot of things in common with them. I really like this web site. Even if I just look around and not post anything, I still get alot from it. Good luck to everyone~~later, pam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertDiva 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Hi and Welcome. How is your surgery coming along? Everything ok with you? I hope so. This is a great place for support and information. I am hoping to be banded in the next few weeks. I was going to have it done in Mexico, but found out that I can probably use my ins. and save a bundle of cash.
