HI former Johstonian? or whatever. I'm in Des Moines going to go to my first lap-band meeting on March 30th. I'm so excited to start this whole process. Excited but scared! :help: Hope all is well with you, have read a few of your posts.

Good luck on your future banding! It's a great thing!!!!! Please keep us updated, it's kinda fun to watch how things work from beginning to end wiht another.

BTW, is it cold there? I have my A/C on here, 90s today.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to more banding information and then hopefully getting it done!!

Cold? 58 here today. That's a heat wave to me!!

I've been to AZ a few times in March to watch the Cubbies play:biggrin1: , Nice Weather!!!

I am originally from Johnston however, I live in Arizona now.

I would love to meet up with those from my home town.

Anyone?

I USED to live in Phoenix and Prescott Valley! Sure do miss the beautiful weather in the Fall and Winter.... The Spring and Summer... not so much! Hahahaha

Johnston is right next to Des Moines. It's where Camp Dodge is.

Yeah, the summers can be a little warm at time! LOL

So glad to see some people from Iowa. Syrah, who did your band from Grinnell? I live near there-they have done by-pass for a long time, but just recently began banding.

Hey there all!! I'm from Des Moines...banded by Dr. Smolik. I would love to get together with other WLS people. Unfortunately, I have class during the Support group meetings, so I haven't been able to meet others.
