Looking for some absentee Vets to check in...

 There are a lot of veteran bandsters missing from the forum.  These are the folks that were very supportive of me pre and post op.  Please check in and let me know how you're doing!

Thats just a few...

 I was thinking the same thing yesterday as I was going through my Friends list.

NCA2008 - where are you, you sexy bee-otch?? We used to be each other's girl-crush, now . . .  nothing!

I noticed beachbunny deactivated. What happened there? The last I knew, she was having some left shoulder pain related to her recent surgery and was concerned that it wasn't dissipating. I went back to check on her and she was deactivated.

And Renee Kennedy... she was having problems and then just disappeared from the board.

I often wonder what happens to people and hope that they're okay.

 Exactly...I have gone to the recent posts and these peeps haven't posted anything for at least 6 months...

 Here's Renee...from about a month ago...see I'm creepy stalking again!

Post Date: 5/31/12 8:16 am  Would you please share why you are revising.I was banded 11/08 and seriously considering the sleeve now.  My best friend is doing the same thing.  she was banded 2/09.  i have had success but life has not been good for the last 2 years-lots of stucks and pouch dialations.  i need to lose at least 75 more lbs but at this point im slowly gaining it back--in the last year i have gained back 40-  i cant really eat what i am supposed to eat, so i eat what i can-sliders, garbage!!  not to mention i was on 5 rounds of steroids and cant workout because of a serious ankle injury and lack of motivation. thanks for ANY help you can give!! Renee

That's not the same Renee is it??? Renee Kennedy was not that far out I don't think.I'm thining her band was within the last yr. 1 1/2 at the most.

No, that's not the same one. She was having problems and was really frustrated... and then she just went *poof*... disappeared.

I don't know why it bothers me... I guess I just don't like to think of someone being in pain and feeling alone. But I just have to assume they're all fine and dandy, I guess! 

Renee seemed really sweet. Hate that the band was not working out for her also. :-(

Hi Nic

Beachbunny is my friend on LinkedIn and hence how I found this forum.
She is doing great but was discouraged by several people on this site and just had enough.

I think she is recovering well. I will tell her you asked for her.

Good, I'm glad to hear she's recovering well.

Thanks.
