Springfield, MO Bandsters Chat



Recommended Posts

Hello, Springfield, MO. I am going tomorrow for surgery in Overland Park, KS. I am so excited, but I would really love to chat with others in my area.

I am 52 and have been heavy more than not since the age of 11. First diet started then with my mom -- And so it went.

Now I have finally gotten to 100 lbs or more over weight and can really feel the restriction in my life. I like to be active and where I am is not helping my quality of life for sure.

I am so ready to succeed here! I really have gotten so many wonderful perks from these pages and would love to chat with fellow Springfield Bandsters!

Hey, Chat Back,huh?

I'm not IN Springfield but I am from Springfield. I have lived in the metropolitan Kansas City area for 25yrs. I do know where Overland Park is! I too am 52, been overweight since about 5th grade. I have lost and gained over the years. Diet pills, Weight Watchers, Overeaters Anonymous, Jenny Craig, SlimFast, AccuPuncture on the ear, hypnotized, I tried a lot of different things. Now my knees and low back are a real problem, I had to do something. So far this is working out for me. I would be glad to chat, PM me.

Hi, 2bthinagn. I like your name, and your story is certainly a lot like mine. Thanks for the invite to chat. Sounds good to me.

I will get back here as soon as I can get online after my surgery...

Hopefully Wednesday evening.

Chat then,

Could anybody tell me what the tab was for the entire lap band surgery at St. John's in Springfield?

I'm wondering since there is a good chance my insurance carrier won't cover the cost!

Thanks,

Springfield "MO":help:

2bthinagin: Yes, surgery went just fine. I spent the night and hubby and I came back early this morning. I have been sleeping a lot and just drinking my drinks -- so jello/popsicles.

My dogs are happy to see us and one especially knows I have had something happen -- he is just being my big buddy.

Short message here -- need to rest again. Walking for gas removal -- all is well, however. Couldn't have gone better.

Thanks for your reply. What is PM? Not too sure on all these acronyms people use...
