I go out on the snow machine a lot and when I do I will generally see the northern lights. One time we were coming out of Walmart in Anchorage and I looked up and there they were big as life, those were the best I have ever seen. Kinda funny it was right in town.

I WANNA GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a high school teacher. What part of Alaska did you visit? You should bring family (or friends) up and go down to Homer and go out Halibut fishing, its pretty cheap to do and lots of fun. Plus fish is good for us bandsters. :tongue:

Hi Leather!

I was in Anchorage both times. We had to drive up to Palmer for a visit and also went to Seward. I would love to go back up for pleasure next time and rent a couple of Harley's and see the state from the back of a bike. That would be awesome! If I had the money and could have a summer home, that is where it would be!

As an aside, I've never been to Montana but if it is half as gorgeous as Wyoming I would want to have a house there too! LOL

My dad was military, so I actually grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska there near the military base... And I even walked to school in snowboots and snowsuit... what fun.. then we moved to DFW/Texas where it rarely snows, but ices... HOWEVER, yesterday we had a snow storm and it was the biggest snowflakes I've ever seen. Even bigger than the ones in Fairbanks! And just like that, they were gone. Woke up this morning and the streets were clear and now it's sunny and almost all melted. It was fun for one day...

Hi All!

I live in WA State, and was banded on 2.15.08.

So far, so good. I'm hoping to meet some local people, as well as from all over. Support is key, and I'm here to help support as best I can, and also receive support.

I live in a northern suburb of Detroit, Michigan.

I am coming to Detroit for Easter. But I am getting a fill on the Monday before. Can you tell me who your doctor is. I am worried about getting there and having a problem and not knowing a doctor to go to.

Well, I'm from Utah, spent 4 years in St. Louis and loved it. My husband's first job has us out in the-middle-of-nowhere Kansas. It's been nice here, but not where we're going to be staying. I'd like to end up back in St. Louis eventually, but we have at least one other location to go to first. Not sure where yet.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
