Topic: Gastric Band Support Group Tukwila, April 24th
Hi all Band patients!

If you're a pre or post op gastric band, (Lap Band or Realize), patient come check out our support group, "Growing Thin"!

The next meeting is April 24th at 9:00 a.m. at Starbucks in Tukwila, (directions below).  We meet the last Saturday of each month at 9:00 so mark your calendar!

It's a very casual group. We don't always have a planned topic each month but like to share our experiences of living with the band. 

Please join us!  Please let me know if you're coming so I can keep track of the head count.

Great!  If you friend me I'll add you to my e-mail list.  I also have a group here on OH call "Growing Thin".  Go to groups up top and type in growing thin and it will take you to the link.  Join that group and I always post the dates for the montly live support group meeting.

I look forward to meeting you!  April 24th, 9:00 a.m.

 I plan on being at the meeting in May.. I am so excited right now, I slept so good last night because I know the pressure will be off of me soon. Oh what a wonderful feeling.. and it seems as though everyone in the house is more relaxed too...... 
Thank you all for being here.
