So...

Is there anyone here who is from western MA area? Springfield, Holyoke, Great Barrington... anyone? I'm also new here (on this forum) and looking for people to 'connect' with... maybe even go to support meetings with. I'm just starting on my WLS journey, and my family and friends are limited (most of my family is out of state). Most of my friends don't have the weight issues I have, and while they are dear to me, I don't feel like they truely get it. Shelley

Hello! My name is Amy and I live in Easthampton. I went to Dr. Haag with Pioneer Valley Surgical and have been pretty happy with the overall situation. I do not go to the pre-op meetings anymore since I have had my surgery in March of this year, I usually go to the post-op meetings but I would be happy to email you if you have any other questions or thoughts. My email address is [email protected] and in the subject line just put something about lapband! Good luck with whatever you do!
