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. laugh.png

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! cornut.gif

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.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
