Oh, Jules -- I'm so torn.  I play Mah Jongg on Tuesday nights, but would really like to attend.  I'll have to figure this one out!

Julie- you know I LOVE you for this!!!!  It is so hard for me as a "bandster" to attend most support meetings.  I know we are all on our own journey and I knew I would be in for slower loss, but sometimes it gets hard to remember that- esp when we go around the room and I feel like I am the only one with little or no loss.  I enjoy the "mini-band group" at Miriam, but a lot of times, it get taken over by pre-op bypass questions.  This group will help so many of us lap band people who feel like they just don't fit in at the support groups!

I CANNOT wait to come!!!!  I just started a new job, and I am still very uncertain as to my schedule that night, but should be able to be there.  I so encourage all of you bandsters like me who shy away-  come to this meeting!!!!
