I just got the Realize Band on Thursday and things are looking up.  Figured I would come introduce myself to the locals. :) hehe.  I live in Highland Park but I got my surgery done up in Morristown with Dr. Nusbaum, he is awesome.

Anyway just wanted to say hi and see who is out there.  Would love to make some friends and also am thinking about going to some support groups in the area... my surgeon is a little far, it would take an hour plus traffic from rush hour to get there for 6 pm...

Anyone go to the one at the hospital in New Brunswick?  Thoughts?  I am in Highland Park and don't drive so the closer the better.

Nice to meet you all! :)

Good Luck on your Journey !!

Thats a really awesome list. :)  Rockin'.

I was looking around for more info on the one at Saint Peter's, especially since it's so very very close to my house... do you have any additional info on that one in particular?  It would be the most convenient one for me to attend on any kind of regular basis.

Thanks so much again! :D

Awesome! Thanks so much.  The only other thing I wanted to know was where you go specifically... I know that's a big place, that hospital.  Maybe I'll see you there next time! :D

It's usually held in the conference room right across the cafe (ironic isn't it?). Ask the guard when you sign in.
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Hi Jackie,
I also hope to be at the next meeting next Tuesday for banders. My surgeon/hospital is an hour away and I'm happy to have this meeting so close.
