I live in Sheridan, have been through Star Valley, beautiful! Pretty nice her too though with the Big Horn Mountains here. I have my 3rd appt the 18th of August. I am hoping to have surgery by the end of the year. I have started exercising ~ finally, it was my "goal" for this month from my last appt. How is it going for you? I need some encouragement that this is going to be worth the process ~ not to mention the gas!! Looking forward to your reply.

Good to hear from you, we are close ~ well as close as it gets in Wyoming! My August appt went well, I am working on all the goals they have given me. This month I am supposed to try to drink 80 oz of Water and practice not drinking with meals or 30 minutes after. I am getting excited, really hoping it will happen before the end of the year. My last appt is Nov 3 and then it goes to insurance for approval, if that doesn't take too long they can schedule. Of course December is a bad month with the Holidays but I am optomistic. Talk to you later ~ keep in touch!

Evanston is really close... We should try to get together sometime!

I am so glad things are working out for you all. December will be a tough month to get banded Cheryl, but so worth it.... I have lost 43 pounds in 41/2 months so it is worth it!!!!! Keep up the great work!

That is great ~ I can't wait until I am that point. Not too worried about December, I am so tired of being fat and trying to fit into too tight clothes, I will be glad!! I am getting banded in Cheyenne, how far is that from Evanston?

Dreaming Skinny and cher.56, I'm moving to Cheyenne the end of Sept. So if we are going to meet DS, we'd better make some plans:thumbup:

Cher.56, being banded in Dec. will be great!! The winter will hide your wgt. loss-- You'll look fabulous by next summer! What a surprise you'll show everyone! Dec. being newly banded, it will be easier to avoid the "holiday eating" and by the next year you'll have the new life of being banded down so well, you won't have any problems at all during the holidays!!

Good to hear from other Wyomingites! I have an appointment in Cheyenne on November 3rd. I am driving, or flying, depending on the weather, probably on Sunday. Maybe we could try to set something up for then? What do you think??

It will be my final appt :), then to the insurance for approval. Hopefully have the surgery in Cheyenne before the end of the year!! :cool2:

I live in Thermopolis. Was banded in Riverton 0n 8/7/08 by Dr. Lewis. He is great, and everyone at the hospital was super. Hope everything goes great for you too.

Dreaming Skinny, did you have your surgery done in Jackson? If so, by who? I live in Pinedale, and I'm in the process of getting my insurance to approve through Dr. Balliros office. He seems really nice and there trying to do everything they can, but I'm still nervous about him. Guess just because of what he'l be doing! Let me know! Thanks

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
