1jmk Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 Hi there, I'm linterested in finding other lap banders who also live in Calgary (Alberta, Canada) who might want to meet for coffee, every so often, for friendship and support. If you're interested in getting together, from time to time, I'd love to hear from you. - Janet.
nicolek Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 Hi Janet There is actually a Calgary lapbanders support group. We get together once every month for dinner. The next get together Is at the Sante Fe on Macleod at 5.30pm 25th of July. The forum is on yahoo groups under calgarylapbanders. Hope you can make it. Nicolek
Tadpole Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 I am also in Calgary. I get banded on July 23rd at OCC. I would love to get together. Hugs Trudy

I'd like to meet up with you sometime. I'm going to try to make the Santa Fe get together on July 25th. I'll be thinking of you, then. The OCC is a great place. Nice and clean, and the docs there are just great (and knowledgable) to talk to. Congratulations on your decision to get banded, and I look forward to seeing you sometime soon. - Janet. P.S. I just found out today that there's a lap band support group that meets once a month down at the old Col. Betcher hospital. If you call the Calgary Diabetic and Cholesterol Clinic (I'm not sure what their phone number is) they can give you more details. It's covered under Alberta Health Care and maybe someday you might want to attend (if you're not already attending).
