Hi,
Just checked the colorado forum for first time in a long while.  I had lapband in December 2010, have released 70 and have the same Dr.  would love to connect and be mutual support.  my phone # 303.679.1998   Janel

Hope this doesn't come too late for you. Penrose Hospital has a few groups.

Professionally run support groups for Lap-Band and gastric bypass surgery are available to individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery regardless of where their surgery took place. Those who are anticipating/planning bariatric surgery are welcome to attend support groups prior to surgery. Discussions are lead by former patients, surgeons, dieticians and plastic surgeons.

Hi All,
I had the Lap-Band Surgery in Feb. of 2010 through Dr. Synder's office.  I live in Arvada and I'm looking for fellow people in my area to start a support group or work-out buddy program.  I'm currently going through a six month personal training course as well and I'm also looking for guinea pigs to help me work on my programs and "teaching style"  LOL!

im sorry about  i hope u everything works out for u in ur journey
