Recommended Posts

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

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
