I am in Maple Valley but closer to Issaquah. :tongue_smilie:

I had surgery on a Friday and went back to work the following Monday; I have a desk job. Weight loss has been slow for myself so I made another appointment with the nutritionist. Determined I was not getting enough calories for the amount of exercise I am doing. :tt1:

I am on soft food for another 2 weeks.

I live in the west Seattle area but would love a support group get together. I was banded in sept. 07 it's been a struggle but i think being around other bandsters would be helpful . just post when and whereand I'll be there

cindy your doing great on the weight loss. I have been loosing slow as well. hoping when i go to see julie in cpl weeks she will give me another small fill. My body seems stuck on only giving up 4-5 pounds a month. that and im still eating to many calories a day.

Hi All--

My name's Reeni and I finally had my doctor submit a referral to my insurance co (group health) for lap band surgery. I'm so excited! I know I have a long ways to go before I even get assigned a surgery date, but regardless, I'm looking forward to starting my life over.

I attended my first support group seminar last week. It was inspiring to witness all the success stories. I hope to one day have my own :thumbup:. I'm seeking all the advice and support I can get pre and post surgery. Wish me luck!

I was at the Federal Way Clinic. I came with my sister-in-law Shawna.

i remember now. you were a few seats down from me.

[SkinnyMe206 0]

well what a small world! I'm sorry I don't recognize you as it was a rather large group and hard to see everyone :-) A friend of mine indicated this was a good site to gain insight on all things LB, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Are you a regular at Fed Way? I think I'm going to enjoy the monthly meetings. I'm going to the meeting in the central district next week too. I apologize, I didn't catch your name at the meeting...

My name is Lisa. Yeah i am a regular at the federal way meeting. this is the best site i have found for information. There arent to many good books out there. so this site is good for research and finding other folks in your area who have the band.
