Hey Sharon--I am not in Montana, but my husband grew up in Martin City--just down the road from Glacier Park, and my inlaws still live there. I love Montana! We go up there every summer on vacation. Where exactly are you?

Hi Connie,

I live outside of Kalispell. It's about 13 miles from Martin City. It really is beautiful here but I grew up next to the ocean and miss it terribly. I've lived here about 19 years now. It's growing like crazy. Real estate has gone through the roof. Houses have more than doubled in my time here.

I know what you mean about the growth there--we got married in Glacier Park in 1995, and have been back almost every summer since, and every year it amazes me how much its grown. We are headed that way again this July. I just love being there--it is so relaxing and peaceful for me. Colorado is beautiful, too, but it's just different up there.

Darn Sharron, I'm in NE Wyoming. It seems there are very few people in my area that have the lap band, too. I tend to get my support from here and other message boards like this. Hope your spring is warming up!

Sharon,

How are you? I must tell you. I went for my first fill with Dr. Rohrer and he gave me 1cc and after 10 days I felt no restriction. Last time I talked with you , you were contemplating another fill. Did you ever go? I ended up going back and telling him to please make sure I was restricted because I was going on vacation. He gave me 1 1/2 cc. so I have 2 1/2 cc in my band . I feel really restricted and it has helped a lot.

I could barely get water down in his office but I assured him I would be fine. And sure enough the next day I was.

Let me know how you are doing.

Siena.

I'm glad your doing well. I'm really struggling with eating bad foods. I've gained 4 pounds. I've discovered the bad way to eat around the band. I need to get back on the wagon. Take care. Sharon
