Is there anybody out there from Idaho? I am in the Boise area. Just looking to hear experiences!

Hi! Welcome.........Wishing you the best! Keep us posted in how you are doing after surgery! I can't wait either even tho I go thru periods of wanting to back out, but then all I have to do is read positive posts and see awesome before and after pictures.

Yes, welcome I’m sure your doctor and his staff will take great care of you. We are here when you need support!

Can you let me know when the next support meeting is? I would really like to attend all if work permits. The more info the better! Is there a site where I can find out dates ect...? Thanks Teri

That would be here in the Boise Nampa area...)

Terian,

In order to avoid a mistake here is the link to all of the classes! See you there.

Thank you. I also signed up for the Bariatric healthy behavior, it was limited to pre and post op st lukes bariatric program. I hope I did that right. I am in the process of doing my 6 months......I would love all the information and learning tools I can get!

Hope to see you on Tuesday the second for the Crock Pot Meals Cooking Class Teri!

You mean the second Tuesday of the month? This is the one at St lukes Meridian right? I just looked at the web site and I read second Tuesday of the month?

I also registered for a 4 week course at St Lukes Boise for class............It said it was for pre and post. It was free and I figured it can't hurt.

October 2nd and October 16th are the nutrition and cooking classes for next month! They are in the Meadow Lake Building on the 5th floor. The more classes you take the better. My surgery wont be until December or so, but I feel so prepared!

lol, Glad your here to let me know! That must be a support group of some kind that I read then..........I'll come if works permits, to late to ask for the 2nd off, but will go in and request the 16th. And yes I believe the more I take the better...... Hopeing 6 months flies by, and all goes well with our insurance.....

Thank you!!!

When you start coming to the nutrition classes they will give you a handout with all of the dates for a few months!! Or you can swing by Dr. Valentines and ask for copies of the schedules from Karen!

My 6 months is flying by. I just looked at my calender and saw that Im a bit over 4 months into my wait! If you have Facebook feel free to add me. There are about 5 of us that are having WLS on there and we all talk a bunch and share recipies and tips. If you dont wanna add me, I wont be offended either! :-)

Idaho girl here! Was sleeved on Oct 24th, and could not be happier with the results so far. Knock on wood, no complications. Dr. Valentine was/is my surgeon too!!! Have lost 28 pounds and gained positivity and happiness.
