Hey ya'll. I am a new bander as of June 2. I have enjoyed reading all your posts and wanted to join in. Forgive me if I don't know all the shorthand yet. Please let me know if I mess up.

Welcome, Waddy! I am new here too and from Alabama! I am not banded yet but hope to be in the very near future.

Hey Waddy I live in Alabama too. Welcome and who did your surgery and how are you doing? I am getting banded this Tuesday the 17th by Dr. Groves in Albertville.

Well, my goodness! I'm in Alabama, too, and have been around here for some time. We have our own Alabama group, you know Alabama Local Lap-Band Support - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum and we have quite a few active folks there. I'm newly banded and doing great. Stick around this 50's group and you will learn so much from all these experienced bandsters. They are truly inspirational. Good luck to all of you!

Hi Diane and welcome! I am also over 50 (though my age isn't posted). Thank you for the link. I have been reading this site (LapBandTalk) a lot and there is also a thread with just those from Alabama and a thread for those over 50 so you might stumble across those in your exploration of this site.

Thanks for the welcome. I my surgery was on June 2nd. Since I live in a rural area of Alabama I had to go to Chattanooga for surgery. My surgeon's name is Walter Rose. He was very nice and I had no complications. The only ongoing problem I seem to be having is Constipation. Any suggestions?
