I just have to say that i love Dr. Haag! he is the best... sometimes he seems to be in a rush, but i guess with the amount of patients that office has, what can you expect? right? I had my surgery October 2,2008 i weighted 230lbs... i now weight 157! i feel AMAZING!:thumbup:

You just need to remember that it is a tool, and not a quick fix! i went from a size 18 to an 8 so far! it is the best thing i ever did, and i would do it all over again in a minute! Did you see if you could go to the other support group meetings at the chestnut building? i know that those used to be acceptable?good luck with everything! if you need anything dont hesitate to contact me? i feel like a proffesional now! lol

yes you are, ha,ha..lots of expierence under your belt now...wow thanks for the tip..think i will see if i can attend one of those mettings at the Chestnut building...interesting....seems a shame to have to wait just cause of a meeting when all else will be done....yes thanks for the reminder about it being a tool this band ..i think if i don't have hunger i will be ok and even if you have a bad day from what i hear and eat or over eat i should say that your body will slap you so to speak, ha,ha with a not so nice stuck period....oh i don't want thant..no thanks!....

Sweet pea keep your head up. I bet you could attend the support group, maybe not for credit, but just to get some info. I called yesterday and it is open to all post op so you could always just sneek in.lol , just to get some info.

thanks....who knows maybe they will credit me....i will sign in and put Dr Fiallo name and if they don't credit it oh well....ha,ha,...hay i look at it this way if i go to Dr Fiallo meeting in June & july or even July & aug i should be all set for Sept.....so i will enjoy the summer and try to take off some weight on my own as a head start...I have lost 6 pounds already so who know i might even have 20 off before surgery...what a great start....Did you have problems with your skin ?....they say to lose slow so the skin remains tighter....at my age i will need repair surgery...ha,ha...

[emialiaubri 5]

now after 73lbs i am having some skin issues, but it is probably my fault i dont go to the gym nearly as much as i should1 but it is all worth it! i know that 10 months ago you got credit for that meeting? good luck!

[sweetpea1 0]

Thanks....don't worry about the extra skin yet...i hear it takes 1 yr for the skin to go back to normal or as normal as its going to be.....

Hello all!!! Anyone coming tommorrow night?

[LISAMARIE1158 0]

Can't stand the new group...feel like lm at a weight watchers meeting instead of lap band support group....some of the information is very questionable.

Hello all!!! Anyone coming tommorrow night?

I don't like the new format - I really want to be in a meeting with just "post-op" patients - our topics to discuss are totally different than pre-op and there are too many people to really be able to ask questions.

what about Baystates meetings? They have a post-op group..????
