Banders In Stl

[Amee Rae 9]

I am from St. Louis, but I am getting my surgery in Columbia which is a bid of an inconvenience. I was wondering if there were others from St. Louis on this site. I look forward to getting to know others in my area that are going through the same experience that I am.

Columbia MO? I'm going through SSM Weightloss Institute at Depaul. I actually did their HMR medically managed program about three years ago and lost 60lbs (all liquid x7months) but obviously have gained it back. I will definitely start up-ing my Protein and no carb with all the posts I've seen.

Hi everyone and welcome to 2012. I'm new to the site and group and I'm looking forward to the new year and all the possibilities and changes. I was just banded on 10/17/11 and I am very pleased with my progress so far. If anyone has any tips, suggestion's or question's please feel free to post. Thanks and I want to wish everyone the best of luck on their journey to weight loss!

Yes Columbia Missouri is where I am having mine done. I couldn't find a surgeon in St. Louis that took my insurance and could get me in right away.

Amee - had mine done in Columbia too - just Dec 30th by Dr Pitt. The staff couldn't say enough nice things about him - and they don't have to do that! Everything went well and was headed home in about 6 1/2 hours after arrival. I am sore and learning to sip. Too much of a gulp is a b***h! Going to be the perfect thing for me though - I am very relieved!

Was he apart of the Weightloss Institute? Not heard of him/her. Do you go to the support groups? I think they are the 1st Wed. of each month. Let me know if you go to any of them.
