Where is all the air in my new tummy coming from? This started yesterday. I was doing well with this until then. Any ideas?

Also, when will I fell like I am not dehydrating? I am SO thirsty!

Hi Josh, I'm Susan from Franklin County , Va. My surgery was April of last year. Just wanted you to know you aren't the only one :-D  Oh in case you don't know F.C is south of Roanoke. Kinda in between Martinsville and Roa.  I'm now gettting ready to have a hip replacement in Feb. The ortho doc wouldn't do it before because of my weight. I'm 49 and I figure even tho that's old to alot of people I think it's to young to have to use a walker or wheelchair. Hope your weightloss is going great and you're keeping it off.

Hi Kerry,

I live about 15 minutes from Newport News and I am scheduled for surgery on March 14 (VGS). My Dr. is in Newport News, Dr. Clark. they are opening a new facility with a gym as well as support groups. They also carry some really good products like shakes etc. This is all so new to me, I have been there twice for consult and yesterday for fitness evaluation. Sounds like you are doing really great. Welcome to virginia

exhausted right now, but got home. I've been slowly recovering, will post more later.

Hello everyone!  I'm moving to Richmond in a couple of weeks.  I've been in Maryland for the past decade, and occasionally post on the Maryland board, where I have made many great friends there.  I got a new job  in Richmond and will be starting on Valentine's Day 

A bit about me - I'm a Lapbander - 2 years out and have reached goal and some.  I am interested in finding out who your Lapband/GB doctor is and if you like him or her, since I do need to schedule an appointment with that doctor to transfer records, etc.  For those wondering, Dr. Kuldeep Singh was my surgeon at St. Agnes Hospital.

I originally grew up in Chesterfield County - attending Salem Church Middle, Meadowbrook and Henrico High Schools, and moved to Baltimore shortly after I got done with my high school education in 1991.  Regretfully, I didn't quite stay in touch with people in VA over the years so hard lesson learned.

I am moving to what everyone calls "Southside"? Richmond.  I hope that there are some people in that area so that I can meet, because there is nothing like having an awesome support group who are headed towards the goal of healthy living! 

I am also a Facebooker - so if you're on there, let me know!
