Hi Mike,

I'm sorry no one has replied. I only know of Sharon who is over there in the Kila area but haven't heard from her. I used to live over there and travel over there from time to time to visit family. I'm in Great Falls now. Do you come over here for your fills?

Who did your surgery?

Hello, It's so nice to hear from someone in the Flathead. I was banded 2 years ago. We are having a support group if your interested. The first Friday of every month from 2-3:30 at the Summit. It would be great if you can come. I look forward to talking with you. Sharon

Mike,

Sorry I missed you at the meeting today. We're thinking about changing the time. Would 4-5p or 4:-5:30 be better for you?

Sharon

It's nice to see some action on the Montana Thread. I had the lap band 3-17-2008 in Great Falls, Dr. Rohrer rocks. His staff has been fantastic and so has he. I've lost about 30lbs to this point, and am excited to be cleared to get back into my excercise routine.

I'm not near Flathead at all, I'm near Billings and have met a few ppl here and there in the area but not many. Billings doesn't offer banding only gastric so people have to travel to Great Falls or out of state which sucks!!

Keep up the good work and nice to meet you. :)

For anyone in Kalispell and the surrounding areas, I have found the most amazing follow up care. New Image Clinic, right next to the hospital does fills. I had a fill yesterday from Chris, a wonderful PA and it was the ideal situation. Quick, accurate and just a tiny pinch.

Given that I live hours from any kind of care, I was just delighted to find such a great clinic and provider within a days drive of my home.

Hi

I'm seriously considering the Lap Band. I would like to have my surgery in March of 2015. I live in Kalispell. Are there any locals who can give advice & also is the support group at the Summit still going?

Thanks

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
