    any one in utah want to talk

    Hello Folks, I'm Wendi. I'm new and just starting this whole process. I'm attending the initial orientation information seminar thingy offered by my surgeon (Dr. McKinley) on Tuesday. I'm excited and a little scared. Anyway, about me... I'm 36. I live in Sugarhouse. I work for the feds in probation. I'm recently married (at the ripe old age of 35 no less!). No kids and no plans for kids at the moment. I like to travel. I look forward to getting to know everyone and I really appreciate the support!
  2. Hello All, I'm Wendi from Utah, a newbie to the forum, although I have been lurking for some time (mostly enjoying everyone's awe-inspiring before and after pics, very impressive!!). I am so excited to start the banding process, and have really appreciated reading everyone's insights. I owe you all a big thank you for helping me make this important and life-altering decision and we haven't even really met yet. Let me share a little about myself. I live in Salt Lake City. I'm 36, married to an amazing supportive honey. I love to travel (I just have to say that the day I am able to get on an airplane and not worry about asking for a seat belt extender will be the day I consider this journey a huge success!) My honey and I will be attending an initial lap band information orientation next Tuesday, the 27th. I believe my Surgeon will be Rodrick McKinlay, as he has agreed to fix my hiatal hernia while he's in there banding. Has anyone else here had these two procedures done at the same time? Might as well have everything done at once I guess. :nervous I'm looking forward to hearing from other Utah bandsters, and am interested in knowing if there is a Utah-based support group for pre and post-op bandsters. Thanks again for all the information. Nice to meet everyone! Wen

    Hi Deb and JDru. Thanks for the greetings. From what I'm reading, I guess the hiatal hernia thing is not that uncommon. Shwoo! I'm not a freak after all. Thanks for the info on the Utah peeps JDru! I'll see you there.
