Hi

I also had my lap band surgery (single incision) in July and Dr.Bertha was my surgeon.  I have not had  any problems at all..no gas, nothing getting stuck  ect..it's really been great I'm very happy.

Lisa,

I had a Lap Band in June of 2005 by Dr Abkin. I have lost 75 pounds so far. The first couple of years I attended the support group every month. My goal is to get back to the meetings (they help to stay on track). I recently attended the support group at RWJ in Scotch Plains and want to try to get to the JFK meeting in Plainfield (Muhlenberg).

Hi Debbie,
Thanks so much for answering my post. I have lost 23 lbs. I got a late start. I must admit, loosing this weight has made me feel so much better. Would you be so kind to share with me the meeting times and places that you mentioned ? I would like to go as many support groups as possible. I feel that they are very helpful.

Since I am unsure how far you're willing to travel, maybe this post will help you decide some nearby Support Groups by you.

Hi Lisa,

I had my lap band done about a month ago. I live in Perth Amboy so that's not far at all from Piscataway. How's everything going?
