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.

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.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
