Topic: RE: Support Group Meeting, Warrenton VA tonight.
Hi,
Do you have an email list that you use to notify your members of future meetings and events? I would like to be added. Culpeper does not seem to be to open to a group at this time. I'm not sure I can go to the evening meetings due to my work schedule. I just so happen I work at the Curves in Warrenton now. Anyway, I'd like to be a part of your group.

Hi,
I hear there is a great group in Warrenton that meets. I myself may go there if it coinsides with my work schedule since I work in Warrenton anyway. I have to reconnect with her again. Hopefully she will read this and respond back.

Thank you. No, I have not gone to a support group yet. When I first got the band I went to the group that my Nut had but that kinda petered out. I tried to get one together in Manassas but I would often be alone waiting at the Panera. So...I pretty much lost weight without support. I got 70 pounds from my goal when the weight loss stopped and have fought for 3 years to get it going again. Now I am hoping to get to goal since this surgery I would be starting at a lower weight. I am just waiting on insurance.

Hi there,
Sorry you are having so much trouble with your band. I know many people do and getting a revision is probably a good choice. Coming back to OH was also a good choice on your part. Having support is so important. Do you go to a support group? This is another support that you may want to invest your time in.
Keep us posted and know that we are hear to support you.

Topic: failed lap band need revision to RNY
Hi. Had band in 2007 and lost 130 pounds. Unfortunately weight loss stopped after two years and despite my best efforts I started eating again and no restriction. So I had fill, had unfills, had fills, paid a personal trainer and I have gained back 70 pounds. I am waiting for BCBS to cover the revision. I am trying to get Dr. Matt Fitzer to do the surgery. He is with Virginia Bariatric. Anyone have any experience with BCBS covering revisions if you are a non-functional band with a hernia and dilation of the espohagus? I haven't been back to Obesity Help in a long time. This time I want to make sure I get total support.

Topic: Tuesday Roll Call
Hi all,
Today looks like a stormy day. Be safe.
I will be training all day at Curves. We have a new owner now! I am so excited about the changes that will take place. Looks like I may be shifted to evenings. I teased hubby last night that he can cook dinners lol. No comment from him. I think that is a nice change.
Anyway, try to stay dry today and talk to you tomorrow.

Topic: Monday Roll Call
Hi all you wonderful peoplieeeeees!
What a great day it is! Today is work and then, we shall see. Hubby is off two days so I have him hanging around. Things will change for him in a couple of weeks so schedules will have to be adjusted.
I had a pretty good time at the festival Saturday. We did not get to every booth but it was still lots of fun.
Well, I am not sure about starting a group here in Culpeper. I have seen very little interest. I don't want to tie up a room at the library if no one is going to show up. So, for now, I will stick with the virtual group. I will start with posting some information once a week or so. Some good reading. I may open up a chat periodically, monthly, just so people can at least "meet" online. The online group is called, Like Dust We Rise. Just type it in the search window above and join. I have it open to post, chat, add photos etc. I hope you take advantage.
Talk to you soon!
