Any Northeast Missouri Bandsters?

I was wondering if there are any bandsters on LBT from NEMO? It would be great to "meet" some!

Hello Denise:

My name is Jennifer and I live in North county, St. Louis. I'm not banded yet. But available to encourage you.

Hi!! I thought surely there had to be other people on LBT besides just myself. It's nice to chat with everyone on LBT but I was hoping there were some "locals" online to chat about things happening in NEMO. Do you still have a lot of snow from the recent storm? We didn't get much, thankfully, and it's about all melted away now.

Are you still in the learning phase on lapband or just waiting for a surgery date?

OK so I am not from MO..lol I live in IL..about 60 miles east fo St. Louis and I am having my lap band done by Dr. John Eagon of Wash U. Waiting on surgery date. Just wanted to say HI! Cindy-IL

Hey Cindy! You're not too far from MO. We are still "neighbors". :biggrin1: Waiting is such a hard thing to do! Good luck and I hope you get your date soon.

I am from ST. Louis. Missouri bandsters are hard to come across on here. Let's talk!

HI Mariquita! Missouri bandsters are hard to come by. I was really surprised when I went in the Missouri thread and the only active thread was from around Springfield. I know there are others in my area who have been banded but apparently they don't know about LBT. I'll have to clue them in. :heh:

There are a lot of us around.:xena_banana: I just happend to luck up on this site looking for help in making my choice between RNY and being banded. I opted for band. Seems healthier for me.

Spoke with my weight center yesterday and found I won't get a surgery date until March. Till then, I'll work on myself and look forward to seeing the weight come off!!!

Jennifer-Welcome! I too looked into both options but quite frankly, RNY scared me. I am very happy I went with the band. Good luck on your journey! Keep in touch!
