Hey! I was just curious if there were any SD bandsters.

hi jessica, i am having the surg. soon. just had a psyc. eval. today and now will wait for the call from dr.glatt to set up the surg. date. scared? yes. kim

Yes there are a few of us around. I was banded by Dr. Andrew Reynold's in Mitchell, SD (July 29, 2005). DH and I make our home in Mitchell too. Drop me a line sometime! Best of Luck on your journey!

I'm from Sioux Falls and was banded on Oct 2nd, 2006. Dr. Bradley Thaemert performed my banding. I had a 6 week check up yesterday. Starting weight on Oct 2nd = 324. Weight as of Nov 10 = 292.

This is the best thing I have ever done for myself! Any other SD folks? Let's chat!

Welcome Jim and fellow SD bandsters. It is good to know that we have "local" support available, as well as the national and international support on this board. Maybe in the Spring we can plan a get together!

Thanks! I'm glad to be here! This is only my second day using this site but already I'm not feeling "alone" anymore! I've been a BIG man all of my life and I am so determined to be NORMAL!!!! Most importantly, I want to live. I have two brand new grand babies that I want to see grow up! I want to be around to irritate my lovely bride of 30 years for at least another 30! And I think a possible get together would be awesome! Count me in.......

Hi Fellow SDakotans! I live in Watertown and am going to be banded on Jan. 19th in Mexico by Dr Kuri in TJ. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! I am a self-pay so am trying to line up aftercare and fills by a doctor in SD.

Does Dr. Reynolds in Mitchell see patients banded in Mexico?

I am not sure if Dr. Reynolds will fill or has filled patients banded by other docs., including those in Mexico. Call his office @ 996-5482.

Hi,

I am from Renner, SD and will be banded by Dr. Haley in Mitchell on Monday 5-21-07. Glad to see there are other South Dakotans on the site. Sounds like you are all doing great!!!

Good Luck CAWalsh on your surgery!

Hey SDbandsters! How is everyone doing?

I was banded on 2/15/07 with Dr. Bradly Thaemert in Sioux Falls. Things are going great - lost over 70 pounds but looking at some gallbladder problems, possibly having it removed this year yet.

I am going to be banded on Monday (October 29) by Dr. Thaemert in Sioux Falls. Looking so forward to it after fighting with the insurance company since March!! Hello South Dakotans!!

No he does not. Did you ever find a doctor to do your fills? Linetta from Mitchell

Have you had any problems since you were banded by Dr. Reynolds? Linetta

So how are you doing? Any problems with your band? I will be band on Nov. 20th by Dr. Reynolds. Dr. Haley was booked for the month of December. I hear they are both good however Reynolds is a little faster at completing the procedure. Linetta
