So where are the Virginia bandsters, I know we've got some here. Signgirl is probably hanging out in the sun with a cool island drink in her hand, in Mexico, I'm so jealous.

Come on VA gals, what's up, how're you doing?

WTG Kara, welcome to LBT and the VA site.

I usually hang out in the NJ thread, just a great bunch of caring ppl there, sharing the same journey. Funny thing is very few ppl are from NJ, just a great thread.

Hello Virginians, lets hear from you.

Hi! How are all the Virginian bandsters? I was banded at the beginning of January and am doing well, still on mushies, no adjustment until Mid March, which worries me, but so far I have been doing pretty well and feeling good. I am starting an exercise program this evening. Just walking with my Hubby at the gym (well he will be running). I hope this will be the start of a great habit! I have been on the Exercise boards and everyone there is SO hardcore, it's very inspiring!

Congrats, I'm still awaiting for my surgery date. I hope it's soon! my inscurance does not require prior approval so I'm not sure why it's taking to long.

Hey everyone. Just thought I would say hello. I'm about 5 weeks post op now. So far, so good. Weight loss has slowed WAY down now and I'm really looking forward to my first fill on the 25th.

HarleyNana... I know you had some recent surgery. How are you feeling? Are you happy with your results? I hope you are well. :smile:

[HarleyNana 10]

Hey, ColoradoChik... are you being banded by Dr. Pinnar (Jr. or Sr.)? I'm being banded on March 12th by Dr. Eric Pinnar. Very excited and nervous.
