Is there an iowa local group somewhere?

I don't think there's a group, but I'm from Iowa.

Council bluffs here

@@Robert Christopherson Good luck with your surgery!

Thanks on nervous scared and excited

To be expected! You'll do great! I'm 2 weeks post op. Feeling better each day.

I'm one week post op I'm from boone I just have a Hard time breathing yet. Is that common?

Is it like when you try and take a deep breath, everything hurts? That's normal. But if you're short of breath, I don't think that's normal. You want to keep working on the deep breathing the best you can though so you don't get pneumonia. I'm 2 1/2 weeks out and I can deep breath with no pain now.

Wow this is an old thread, but, I'm from Iowa. Just starting my journy, for the second time. I went through the process before, got to month 4 of the 6 month diet and came down with the flu. When the doctor asked me how I've been eating, I stupidly said "I have just been eatting as much as I can keep down" so he wrote that I was noncompliant with the diet. I was devestated. I had lost 10 pounds that month, and with one word, I was put back at the very beginning of the process. I gave up for a very long time, and now I'm back, ready to make the first step. I'm 60 pounds heavier than I was the day of my first consultation with Dr. Glascock in Cedar Falls. I have my appointment with my PCP on friday. I will get my referral then. I also am hoping she will will out month 1 of my 6 month diet forms (I have them all printed out and the long patient history form all filled out)

I am in Iowa near Sioux city.. I am close to 3 weeks post- op. But not lossing at all. Still same weight as first week post op

Mason city, for me. Nine months post-op and 64 lbs down.

Tammy, how did you like the program there in Mason? I was thinking of going there. I'm in the beginning stages of this journey, just getting started on my 6 month diet.

Mason city, for me. Nine months post-op and 64 lbs down.

Tammy are you attending any support groups? If so what do you think. Congrats on the weight loss.
