Yay!! I finally moved to Maine!!

Hi everybody....I posted a while ago about my impending move from Cape Cod to Maine....well, I got here last week and am just finding my way around now...I live in Orono and had my lap-band surgery at New England Medical Center in June....I am here to go to school and make a new life.... I'd love to hear from you guys....does anyone live in the Bangor/Orono area?   Thanks...Karen

hello, welcome to Maine, i live about 2 hours south of you.  What school you attending?  and what you going to school for?  how long Do you plan on staying here?  Good luck and keep in touch, great site.... 

Welcome to Maine Karen!!! Did you hear from any of the Doc's yet about taking you on for fills?  I know it was one of your concerns.  Glad you didn't let Portland scare you out of the state..it's a different world up in Bangor. Wishing you well in school! :  ) Sheli

Thanks for your replies....I am going to study to become a vet tech....my clinical classes start in the fall, and I will probably take a science and math class for this spring.   I called so many doctors here to see if anyone will take me on, but they have all said no....so I guess I will just travel to Boston...I am from Cape Cod, so manybe I'll make it a longer trip and travel back to the Cape to see everyone too..... I am really loving being here too....everyone is so friendly in this area, and I am hoping to do some outdoor stuff like hiking, camping, etc.  Of course that is all new stuff for me, but that is one of the reasons I had the surgery---I am 47 and I want to spend the last half of my life being active... not today though!!  What is it? Something like 22 degrees below zero...ha!!  Have a good day all....Karen
