gen_ant_us 0 Posted August 18, 2006 Hello, my name is Gennifer, I am 26 years old and almost 3 months post op from my lap band surgery. I have lost 21 pounds so far with only one 1cc fill. My next fill is the 24th of August. I live in a very small town in Missouri and nobody that I know of has had this surgery in my town. I use these online forums as my support group. I look forward to talking to all of you and making lots of friends. Take care! --Genn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coleoptera 1 Posted August 18, 2006 I am from St Louis! I was banded on July 20th and I have lost 20 pounds. This site is the BEST! Just get your feet wet by reading the new posts, and some old ones. There is a ton of information here. Just be sure to ask your Dr. about any huge decisions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ms_efflorescent 0 Posted August 18, 2006 Hello Gennifer, Congratulations on getting banded. I don't always get time to come here but this site has been a wonderful help with a lot of supportive people. I will be in Mountain View, MO next month for vacation. Are you anywhere near there? peace, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LapBandit 5 Posted August 18, 2006 Welcome! I agree with everyone else, this site is full of very nice, helpful people. I appreciate that it has a positive vibe. I've found other sites where all they seem to do is complain about their band. So, I'm glad you're here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
