Hello all,

I had lapband surgery Feb 2008 and have lost 70 lbs. I thought abotu doing this last year but never got around to it. I am in Atlanta (North Atl...near Marietta) and would LOVE to sit down and make a real network of friends that understand.

If you are interested please send me an email and we can move forward. Things to do would be something in the area of healthy cooking classes, exercise dates, movies, or just hanging out.

Thanks!

Hey there!  I live in the Northlake area.  I had my RNY almost 5 years ago.  I moved here from Indiana at the end of 2006 and have gone to one of the Meet and Greets that has been announced on this forum.  It was AWESOME and I met some wonderful people.  You should definitely look into that because you will meet people from all over Georgia. 

If you want to meet up sometime for coffee/tea/lunch/a chat... let me know!! :)

Hi Deborah! Thanks so much for responding...I see that you are a OH support group leader. Does that take place here on OH or is there an offsite location? Also, what days/times does it take place. I think that is what is needed...a support group and since I had surgery in Charlotte and then moved her shortly after, I have not gone to any. Although I have heard where some are. Anywho...thanks so much for responding and I will definitely look forward to keeping up with you! GREAT JOB TO YOU TOO BY THE WAY...WOW 77lbs in just six months!!! WAY TO GO...

Thank you so much LaShelle. I will definitey mark my calendar. That is not far from here and I am sure it is just what I need. I had surgery in Charlotte and moved her right after so I have had nil in the support group area except for the OH site (which I love). So thanks again and I will keep you posted on my attendance.

I am having mine in Charlotte too!!   I just looked and we have the same surgeon!!! I am using Dr. Voellinger,  what a coincidence..  We definitely have to keep in touch, so you can give me some good advice.  I am doing the DS. 


I am adding you to the rsvp list for the meet n greet. I am looking forward to meeting you.
