I'm sure we will have lots to talk about.

I will be there restricted....pass me a bone please. Thank you K he he he for putting together the MD Lap Band Support Group. This group on the site and in person has been my main motivating force to losing weight.

Thank you ladies for helping me to make walking a habit. LSasha I can't talk about walking without saying your name. Watching your post "MADE" me want to get out there and walk. Seeing your weight loss "MADE" me do it.

Kee let me know when you are going to start walking after work again, I stay later some evenings. I think I am ready to do 2 laps.

It has been such a pleasure meeting at everyones homes and the get togethers at the restaurants. The picnic was awesome, the weather, food and company was just everything I could have asked for.... well a few fine men would have been nice.

Thanks to all that attended our one year anniversary on Sunday. I really enjoyed just hanging out and talking with you all. It's nice to have such a wonderful group of people to share with. I understand not everyone was able to attend, So we look forward to meeting with you next month. I will keep everyone updated, we plan to meet at 1 PM on the third Sunday of every month in the bowie area. I'm still on the lookout for a permanent meeting location.

For next month I thought it would be nice to have a Bring A Friend Meeting. This will be a good time to bring a friend that is of support to you or that is interested in learning more about the Lap Band. I have learned a lot over the last year and I plan to make the much needed changes to better our group. So look for more wonderful things ahead.

I have a consultation date set for Friday with Dr. Brody at GW in DC. So I have been really busy this week making sure I have all documentation together to submit to my insurance company. I'm getting closer and I will post again as soon as I hear back from the insurance company or get a surgery date.

Again thanks for all your support.

We will talk soon, K

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
