I'm just curious where the majority of people live that get weight loss surgery? I don't run into a lot of people on WLS forums that are from the western states. Is that because we are less open about these things? It's gotta be pretty even across the United States.

I'm in Arizona.. So West!

I have several friends that have a home in Arizona and a home here in NW Washington State. Two extremely different climates. LOL. My mom was born in Phoenix.

We have so Many Texans on here you couldn't burp without one commenting. A while back there was a thread asking who was from the Metroplex, which is Fort Worth, Dallas and Houstonm Amazing how many Bari-Pals responded.???

Texas is an awesome state. It's huge! My Grandmother on my Mom's side and her kin were all from Texas. My Mom's dad was from Joplin Missouri and I'm guessing they stopped on their way out west in Phoenix to give birth to my Mom. Good thing... LOL

Now see, Ed NW it all worked out. If they had stayed in Joplin, your mama would have to be shown everything because Missouri is the Show-Me state. And since she's was a Texas Chick at birth, they could move on and now Arizona produced YOU, thank you Arixona!

I'm east of the Mississippi, in Connecticut. There are at least 2 others from CT on here.

Central Ohio, Mount Vernon to be exact, surgery was at OSU in Columbus. At least 5-6 Buckeyes active,maybe more. We are Midwesterners, the Salt if the Earth!

Essex - east of England ?

I'm in West Virginia (WE ARE PART OF THE NORTH, DA-MIT). I'd quote that John Denver song, but everything he was singing about is mostly located in VA. Such a ripoff.

Yeah but Martinsburg is a pretty fine place, take me to the Ramp Festival and you'll have a friend for life. Shoot, you just might anyway, I ❤Mountaineers, they are fine fine people.

Myfanwymoi, my guess would have been Wales, but Essex-- that's fine also!
