New-Anyone else in Tucson?

Hi guys. I know I am late to this thread... but was wondering if you all started up a group or not? I live on the NW side of Tucson and would love some band buddies.

Wilem: I am a scrapbooker also!

L.A.- We never did get together. I am in Copper Creek in Oro Valley. I would love to get together. Have you been to the new Pages in Progress on Orange Grove and River? Nice!!!!!!!! I am planning on cropping there this next Sunday 1/27 at around 1 pm. I am also trying to get a group together next Friday 2/1. They have late night cropping parties from 6-12. Fun, fun, fun! I will send you my emails and phone numbers in a private message. Call me.

Does Dr. Schwartz put you on any kind of a pre-surgery diet? Thx.

Yes, He likes you to lose some weight before the surgery to make it easier.

Thanks. I always like to know what's up ahead. I guess right now his office is waiting for a response from UHC.

I live half way in between Tucson and Phoenix near Arizona City. I have not been banded yet. I have yet to attend a seminar or meet with my PcP for a referral to a Bariatric Doc. I sure would like to meet some people who have gone through it. I've been pretty inspired by this forum but meeting folks in person would be great. I would be willing to drive to Tucson or to Phoenix.:thumbup:

A couple of us are planning to get together in Tucson soon. Send me a private message and I will get you the details. Welcome to the board!

I too live in Tucson and was banded by Dr. Schwartz on 2/6. Is it just me or is Dr. S always seem to be running short on time.:biggrin:

Yup! The good thing is that after your initial visits with him you will see Scott his assistant. He is the best! I haven't seen Scwartz since my 2 week check up and finally at my 1st fill at 6 weeks.

How are you doing??? Such a newbie! We (4 of us bandsters) are getting together this Friday for lunch. You are more than welcome. Chilis on Cortaro at noon. They have great soup!!!! Let me know via PM and I will get you a few contacts and phone numbers.

Good Luck and I am anxious to talk to you.
