MaryThompson 0 Posted August 1, 2009 Hello everyone - I haven't been banded yet - I've just started the process. I have met with a gastroenterologist and have an appt for an endoscopy next week. It was suggested to me that I find a support group as I go through the process, so here I am. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone. Thanks, Mary.

Padanelle 2 Posted August 2, 2009 Welcome, Mary! I' about 8 weeks post op. I really love this site. I have learned so much here, and everyone is so helpful. Good luck on your journey. Joan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greytz 4 Posted August 2, 2009 Hi Mary, Congrats on your impending band! While this is a wonderful support site, I think what they intended for you by support group was to find one in your area and physically go to it. It is usually headed up by a medical professional of some sort. Mine is led by a psychologist. Please double check with them and see if that is what they meant. Good Luck!
