Hi all! Dr. Watkins did my band on 1/18. Lived in the Dayton area all my life until we moved to Morrow/ Maineville area 3 years ago.

I live close to a couple of you ladies- I live around Anderson. That's sort of between Amelia and Batavia. LOL

Dr. Curry also did my surgery.....

I also am not a huge fan of Middletown. Just wanted to throw that out there!

Thanks everyone for the welcomes!

I can't help but bash Middletown. I've been a sales consultant for pure romance for 5 years, so I travel a lot. I don't like the way the area is set up, and I've pretty much always dealt with rude customers there. With a couple exclusions of course. Oh well, is what it is. Lol

I lived there for 5 years, had 2 businesses there, hate the setup, the city officials (once told the mayor and city manager that they were part of the reason that Forbes called Middletown the 10th fastest dying city in the United States during a city council meeting Lol it was priceless!). I met a lot of great people there, some I have maintained great friendships with. But, I had my share of problems there too. One city that I never care to return to

Dr. Watkins did my band on 2/13/09. I live in Northern Kentucky but work in downtown Cincy.

Hi, all - I'm glad to meet up with some locals! I live in Cincinnati about 15 minutes east of downtown and work in downtown Cincinnati. I haven't scheduled my surgery yet (I have to wait till the first of the year as I'm self-pay and will need my end-of-year bonus), but will be using Dr. Watkins in West Chester. I grew up in Mason so I know the area well and still have lots of relatives in the WC/Mason area.

My mom's family came from Middletown originally - in fact, Coles Road in Middletown was named after my maternal great-great-great-great grandfather. it used to be a lot nicer when I was a kid - I haven't been there in a long time, but I understand that it's really gone downhill in the past 20+ years.

I could use some local support and friends to help me on my journey. I'm four years out and have failed at this. The lap band hasn't failed me, I've failed myself. I'm in West Chester. Could use some help, tips, support, encouragement,i deas, etc. None of my friends or close family are morbidly obese so it's hard to relate to anyone in my small circle. I'm not the type of person to ask for help from anyone for anything...but I'm desperate here and realized that by not joining a community such as this for support, I've done myself a huge disservice.
