Portland Area Lap Banders Interested In A Local Group?



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am in Clackamas, OR and had my surgery on 6/26/07 w/ Dr. Neil in Olympia, WA. I was wondering if anyone knows of or would be interested in putting together a local group to get together for moral support, ideas, whatever? I have heard that people who are part of a support group have the greatest chance of sucess! And believe me, I really want to make it work! my email is cquirino@yahoo.com, please let me know if your interested!

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Portland Women!

My friend Joanna and I are both being banded on Aug. 6 and we'd love to get involved with a support group! I was thinking about this today because I cheated all weekend long after doing really well on my pre-op diet. Grr! I'm so frustrated with myself right now.

Hi Joanna & Nancy! I am so excited to hear from you both! I think what I am gonna try to do today is set up a group at yahoo so we can communicate that way? What does everybody think? Of course this is based on my figuring out how - I will keep everybody posted! Talk to you all soon.

Chris

      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.
