barbflorida Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I was just wondering if there are any bandsters out there in Florida. I met some great people when I was in TJ, but it would be nice if there were someone around that we could occasionally get together for support and maybe socialize with someone that understands what we are dealing with. It would be very cool to be able to get together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand Pirate Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Well Hello > I am VERY new to forum because I am scheduled to be banded Feb 9th 2007, (actually just made the appointment today). I live in Boca Raton, Fl. and work in Pompano Beach. So, Hello to all in FLORIDA and all the people that wrote encouraging words in the forum. Without all of the great people out there writing there supportive words I don't know if I could have made the decision. I hope it is one of the best decisions I made but only time will tell. So far Lori and Carolyn and been great asnswering any question I had, as it gets closer I will probably have more. Sand Pirate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think that we have the same fill date and are sharing a ride from San Diego--Jan 13th. Is that you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanie Hi sweetie, I don't know what's up with our email, but try my work address barbara@myworldmortgage.com maybe that one will work. I'm feeling really good and so far I'm losing, of course I want it to go faster, but that's me - I want that instant gratification. Say hi to Rob for me.

Actually, I think that we have the same fill date and are sharing a ride from San Diego--Jan 13th. Is that you? Wow- everyone is down south. I'm about 25 miles south of Daytona Beach. Yes that is me on the 13th so I'll see you then. I was just down in the Ft. Myers area for work a few weeks ago, I end up all over the place so next time I'll have to get in touch before. It would be nice to have a break before the drive back. It's about 4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a pretty good fare out of Orlando. After that I will probably go to Fill Centers USA. There are I think 5 in Florida, but the closest to me is Tampa/St. Pete. Still about a 4 hour drive, but I can't do those round trips too often - too old for a 25 hour day, plus the driving time to and from the airport, so closer to 28.

Never heard of Profect protein drinks, but I recently bought a few samples of Unjury. All I can say is wow. Even the chicken broth protein mix (as horrible and strange as it may sound) tastes great. I would recommend them. (All expect the strawberry one, as I have not yet sampled this flavor.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyMe Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hello everyone. I was banded by Dr. Ortiz this past Thursday (4/5). After making the long trip back home, I've decided I won't be able to telerate the trips back to TJ for fills. Where is everyone else getting their fills? I'm in Orlando. I would love to meet any local bandsters for support, or even have a fill get together, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
