Hi everyone.  I come on the MD board and read alot but I don't really chime in.  I see that the majority of you all are from the northern parts of Maryland.  You all seem to have a great time hanging out . 

I just thought that I would drop in and say hello and let you know that I think you all are great the way you help each other out with questions. 


BTW- I go to the Labp-Band forum quite a bit and view and talk.  Just thought that I should stay with my local group as well.

Whom ever said that people who have WLS are taking the easy way out, have never had this experience.  This is a journey and a major challenge.  Step by step I am striving to make it as a loser!!

Hi Mercedes! Good to hear from you. Welcome and congratulations on your lap band.  I see that you got your lap band just a short while ago. How is it going for you? We do have some folks that are in the South to South-East of MD. Regardless of where we are, online we are just a click away anytime you need us!

Hi Mercedes!!  Welcome to the Maryland Board!!

I agree, we're an AWESOME group and have a great time when we get together.  We TRY to move our get-togethers around the State somewhat, so if you can think of a good place to have a get-together down your way, let us know!

By all means, jump on in anytime!!!

Hugs,

Tia

Thanks for responding to me.  You truly do make me feel welcomed here.  I have been banded for a littl eover a month now.  I am down 20 # and I am very happy with that.  Right now I am at a plateau.  I am due to have my first fill on the 17th and I am really looking forward to it. 

It is so funny to me that I never knew that there were so many people out there that had of have issues with weight loss.  I guess it is good to know you are not alone in this battle.

Good luck everyone.  I will talk to you later.

Hello congrats on the banding. I am thinking about the band as well. I am to scared of bypass. I am still looking into what I might do. I live in Crofton which is close to Bowie. I come to my moms in Suitland often and we eat at Toplinos in Camp Springs. I grew up in Suitland. I wish you much success with your band and would love to know how you feel about the band and why you chose that..

Loser's visualize the penalties of failure. Winners visualize the rewards of success.

Mom I hope you rest in Peace knowing that you were loved and will be missed. Keep love alive in your       heart as I know I will. You are now an           and I know you will be looking down on us from above......... I am OK.......

Welcome to the Maryland forum Mercede's The best of luck to you, you can do it. I have lost 48 pounds since the end of November and my surgery was the 11th of December. I go for my first fill tomorrow due to one little complication. My big incision decided after it healed to open back up for an angry stitch. Never was infected it just drained some and the surgeon wouldn't give me a fill because it was open but everything is cool now. You will do great just believe in yourself you deserve it and you have taken the biggest step to make yourself healthier.
