New bander in IL looking for a band buddy

[tiffball45 4]

Hello.. I was banded December 9th 2014 and would love a band buddy or buddies. I am located in Decatur IL.

[CherieRyde 227]

I'm in Aurora. So, there's 3 hours between us. Kinda hard to get together, but we can chat.

Sounds good to me! I would love that

I'm in Marshall, IL. I was banded November 2013, had major complications, so technically, I just got started in June.

We could almost start our own little "Illinois Residents" FB group.

Hello! And I could get so some also! Nice to meet you.. My name on Facebook is Tiffany Ballard. Feel free to friend request me. Also, lapband divas on Facebook is a great group as well. Do you use my fitness pal?

[CherieRyde 227]

OK .. so I've started a FB group. It's called Gastric Banders in Illinois. My intention is for this to be a SAFE group for all of us. So .. come join me.
@@tiffball45 the thing required me to add someone, so I put you in it. I hope that's cool.

I saw that! Thank you! Great idea

I'm from Elgin. Banded on May 30, 2014. Glad to be through the holidays and get back on track.

[CherieRyde 227]

Man .. the getting back on track is a bit of a PITA around here. All it took was Thanksgiving for my son and husband to decide that we needed to eat the way we used to. I've been fighting them on that since then.
