NEW TO FORUM-INTRODUCTION

Hi Folks,
I am new to this forum, just banded Friday 1-23-09.  I don't want to fail at this and I understand that support is key.  I haven't found a LB group in my area yet and am looking for other banders who may know where to go in the Claremont, California area. Also, just to meet everyone.  I post on other forums and it seems most everyone is out of state.

So a bit about meL I am a Wife of 1, and a Mom of 2, happy to be in bandland and pressing toward success in this.  I am easy going and not quick to listen and ponder what people are saying before I respond.  Looking forward to a great journey becoming a loser ...

I haven't had the Band, but we're here to support everyone in whichever surgery they've had.  I don't know about any support group in LB but we do meet once a month for coffee and it's a great bunch of people.

So welcome to the boards and keep posting!

Thank you Munchkynn! I personally dont care about procedure, I was just told that I should look for and LB group, but I am open to groups that support all.  Thank you and I will keep posting!

Welcome to the cllub!  You have come to the right place because everyone here is supportive of each other . . . no matter the type of surgery!  I was banded a little over a year ago and wouldn't trade it for the world!  Best of luck to you . .. and keep moving!

Thank you very much!  I think I am gong to love my band, it's still new but I am looking forward to learning the right way to work my band!  I am moving as much as I can!

Welcome.  While most of us on this side have had RNY, there are quite a few who have had Lapband.  Welcome to the site.  As far as Claremont support group, I don't know of any.  We do have an Inland Empire OH Support Group, if you are willing to drive to San Bernardino.  Keep checking this site for times and dates of all kinds of events.  Have questions ask away, there is always someone willing to help with your problem.

Congrats and welcome to the losers bench

Ok, thank you so much Diane.  SB is a bit out of the way but it really deends on if it fits with my schedule, I know that if it is too far from home I am less likely to make it.  However, I will check for times there may be some things that ft!  Thank you so much!

Hello and Welcome to the Cali boards! Congrats on your recent surgery too!
