Topic: RE: Would like to find Lap Band pen pals in the Orlando, FL area
Wow!  I live in Deltona.  I was banded on 12/21/09.  I go to Fill Center of America in Tampa as I was a self pay and had gone to Mexico.  A lot of doctors here don't want to do the fills unless they did the surgery.  I love my doctor in Tampa.  She uses the fluroscope and she is wonderful.  She runs a support group for lapbanders also.  So everytime I go she gives me recipes and helpful hints.  I am not sure if they accept your insurance.

Good Luck!  You'll love Florida.

Hi,

I was banded on 12/21/09.  I live in Deltona.  So live about 26 miles north of you.  I know how you feel. People think that we took an easy way out to loose the weight.  They don't understand that we still have to work at it every day.  And we all know some days are harder that others.

Add me as your friend and lets chat!

What's funny is how similar you are (in pursuits) to me. I too am a Business Administration major(BSBA, Accounting on a 5 year MBA/CPA track), and while I'm SUPPOSED to graduate Dec 2012, it will most likely be May 2013 for my BSBA and then May 2014 for my MBA. I'm supposed to have my RNY surgery in Oct this year -- I'm currently on the medically supervised diet. Just thought I'd send a what's up your way and see what happens!

Hi!  My name is Rebecca.  I'm a mother to four and finally getting close to the end of my approval process for WLS.  Already had meeting with surgeon and hoping to have my open RNY this summer.  I'd love someone to talk to/ share stories and experiences with about WLS.  Even if you're not from Phoenix area, I'd still enjoy a friendship. :)

Topic: LF Penpal/Email/Txt Buddy
My name is Rachel and I am the mother of two lil ones in Wisconsin. I play World of Warcraft online and work at a hospital lab. I am currently attending college part time for Business management. I would like to have surgery but my insurance doesn't cover it so I either need to pay out of pocket or find a new job, either is going to be tough for me but I really need to do something. My current weight is 310 and it's driving me crazy. If anyone wants to chat let me know!
