Hi my name is Cari.  While I technically live in SC I am in Landrum less than 4 mins from the NC border.  I had the lap band in March and am down 100 lbs.  I want to know if there are any meetings or support groups in the area near Tryon.  Any more ??? just aask

DISCLAIMER:  DYSLEXIA = ALL CAPS TELL ME AGAIN I HAVE A LAUGH OR CRAP BAND BUT I HAVE STILL LOST JUST AS MUCH AS YOU, SO KISS MY CHOKE CHAIN!!!!!!!Banded march 07 Bonified BANDit for life Start 286-Now 173-Goal 150                            Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

Don't be a stranger on the NC boards. There are a great bunch of folks here all ready and willing to help and support! Lisa

Congrats on your success with the band, you have done awesome!  There is also a lapband forum on this site, you can ask about support groups there as well.   Anyhow, way to work that band girl, you are already a success, newbies would love to hear about your journey!
