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.

HI Hi HI!! Sorry, I've been super busy and haven't had time to check in for awhile.

Cher, How did the dr. appt. go?

Let's keep in touch!

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 0]

Cheyenne is about 7 hours from Evanston and Star Valley.... Wishing you the best!!!!

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!!

that is great you are moving to Cheyenne... I hope to be able to meet to, however, Sept is so full on the weekends, but we can sure try! :smile2: Have a great day you 2!

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

Pigletmik,

Yes I did have my surgery in Jackson by Dr. Balliro. I would say go to I.F. for your surgery.

[pigletmik 0]

any particular reason? just wondering? i don't know if my insurance will approve to have the surgery done or not. if not i'm kinda thinking about going to cheyenne, cause my parents are there and my mom had it done there. is there anyone close that would beable to do fills, or do we still have to drive a few hours to get it done? where do you get your fills?

[Dreaming skinny 0]

I was very disatisfied with him, it is a long story, which I would be happy to share with you, but not on the thread. I get my fills in I.F.
