Hello Everyone, I'm new to this site. I am looking forward to getting banded soon. I am looking for support groups near me. Any ideas?

Each state has a group on the forum. On the main page scroll down and you will see the "support" section. Look for the USA and then look for your state, you'll meet other banders from your state and maybe some local to you.

Hi Mojo:

I didn't find the section here helpful as there is really nothing for Delaware at all. Here is the information that I have found. I am not exactly sure where in lower Delaware you are so I put all the stuff for anything but New Castle County:

Downstate Downsizers (Lapband) - 4th Wednesday at 7 p.m. Call or Email Cathy Bronersky at 302-659-5597 or lapband406@yahoo.com

New Beginnings on 2nd Thursday at 7 pm. Smyrna Church of Christ, 1630 Goldsborough Rd., Smyrna, DE 19977. Contact is Ginger Barkley at 302-653-5971 and email is ginbark@aol.com

New Life WLS on the 3rd Thursday at 7 pm at Harrington Volunteer Fire Co., 20 Clark St., Harrington, DE. Contact Joanne Hammond at 302-947-0417 or email at Hambear73@aol.com

Rehobeth WLS on the 1st Tuesday at 7 pm at St. Mark's United Methodist Church, 18 Olive Ave., Rehobeth, DE. No real contact info on this one.

Hope this helps!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
