HI ALL,

I've just been banded and while there are a few support groups in my area, none are specific to the lap band. Ninety-five percent of participants in both of our local groups are RNY patients. BANDSTERSF are different, we have diffent needs and our weight loss is slower. This slower weight loss, when meeting with a group of people who have lost 40 lbs. in 40 days can be discouraging, frustrating and regretable.

PLEASE....if you live in any of the areas mentioned in the title, send me an email here, or to ramgon254@aol to start a bandster only group. RNY'ers and other bypass members do not understand hunger, waiting for a fill or anything else about banding, and I'd like to be more supported.

Thanks so much for listening!

I work in Palmdale, but live near Porterville in the San Joaquin Valley. I'm in Plamdale during the work week and am looking for a midweek support group there.
