Where in Mass. is everyone from?



Recommended Posts

I am new to the board. Would love to meet anyone considering banding or who is already banded.

I am in Abington (near Braintree, Brockton). Where is everyone else in Massachusetts from? :typing:

I really like this board I have learned so much already.

Cheri52 - My brother lives on the Vineyard also. He lives in Vineyard Haven at Hillside Village.

WOW what a hike to get to Burlington! It's worth it I'm sure (I don't know yet as am not banded). I hope there is no more snow so you will not have any travel problems.

Sandra, do you get down here to see him? maybe we could get together ? I know Hillside fairly well, I work for VNS, I may know him! small world. and yes it is a hike! nearly didn't go for it just because of that, but all the other options were just as far.

Rosa, go to the top of this page to the far left there is a small heading "user cp" (user control panel) click on that and you will find the link for setting passwords etc. thanks for the good thoughts! I need them....

Cheri52 he gets up here more than I/we get down there. It's just so expensive. He has to come up here every three months to see his doctor so that pretty much is when we see each other.

I bet you do know him, if not his girlfriend, who lives at Woodside. My brother is Steve and his girlfriend is Suzanne.

Let me know if you know them.

BTW - I have not discussed my Lap Band plans with them. :)

Hi everyone!

I'm in Athol - North Central Mass :help: (j/k). I'm new to posting, but have been reading and researching the band for a while now. You've all been so helpful, without even realizing it. So... I'm going through the program at Emerson and have had my 1st consult, tests, and later this week will meet with the nutrionist for the 2nd time. Next week I meet the surgeon to see if I can have the surgery. I'm so very excited, and can't wait, even though the journey started on March 19th, it feels like it's taking forever.

Hi Everyone! I am new to posting. I read them, but find it a little scary to post. I was banded by Dr. Haag on Friday, April 13. I have lost over the past 3 days 13lbs. I know it is all Water weight, but it is something! I feel if I can get through the liquid stage I will be fine. It is going to be a long week!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
