Help.....

So, are there any lapbanders on the south side who would like to meet.  I'm having a hard time and I would love to ask some questions of someone who's had success.

Thanks!

Edited to add.....south side of Milwaukee.....cudahy, oak creek, so. milw. area

I had the RNY by Dr Chua 10 months ago which would of been July 28th, I live on the south side of Milwaukee and go to Bally's in cudahy. I have been successful with the RNY and lost total of 160 lbs so far. The last 20 to 30 lbs seems really hard for me but I am determine to lose it with all the exercise I am doing 7 days a week. Have you gone to any of the support meetings? 

Congrats on your success with the RNY!!!  I have not gone to the support group meetings because I had heard that most of the people that go have had the RNY and not too many banders go.  I'm going back for another fill next week so I'm going to ask them if they can have a bander get in touch with me.   Thanks for your response though and continued best of luck to you!!!!! You look awesome!

You need to come to the support group there are others who had the band done. Not everyone has had the RNY. I know the band isn't as successful as the RNY. They can share there experience with you but you need to come to the group. Next one is is on June 16th at 6 pm. The speaker will be on plastic surgery who is MD. Then we break into groups to talk.

Have I met you at the support meetings before? I been going since last summer.

thanks,
Robin

I've never been to the support meetings so I don't think we've met before.  I'll try to make it to the 6/16 one, I usually have Zumba classes that night and hate to miss them but I really need to get a handle on this thing too.  Are they in the Heart Center building at Sinai?

yes still there in the lower level take the elevator down 1 floor to almost the end of the hall.

How do you like Zumba class where do you take it at? I belong to Bally's in Cudahy and live on the south side of Milwaukee not far from downtown Milwaukee. Just south of the old allen bradly clock tower.

I go to the south milwaukee high school for the Zumba classes, I love them, it doesn't even feel like you're exercising! 

   No matter which procedure you have, Support meetings will help you stay focused and learn lifestyle changes from others. I knew going in that even the RNY is a diet and exercise program.
    I met a Lap-bander from New Jersey that has lost over 145 pounds. It is a different procedure, but the details of dieting remain the same.
