Hey there -

Hi, I live in Gillette. I had my surgery with Dr. Parnell in Cheyenne on March 17 this year. I have lost 69 pounds and so far am doing great. The emotional part has been a little tough lately but I am working on it.

I also run the Support Group here for Bariatric Surgery Patients.

I have not been in here in quite awhile.

Glad to meet you all.

Dottie R.

Hi Dottie, I live in Sheridan and had my surgery yesterday with Dr. Parnell in Cheyenne. Congrats for your weight loss, I am a little sore and tired but doing great. Do you have any suggestions on how to get Protein in while on the clear liquid diet?

Thanks,

Cheryl

Greetings Wyocowgirl! I had my surgery in Riverton May 4, 2009.

I think we are SO lucky to have Dr. Lewis in the heart of Wyoming!

I like the ticker - helps me see the progress I have already made!

Hi, I'm over in Victor & was just wondering where & who did ur band. Do you know anyone who does the gastric sleeve in the area? I hope all is going well for you. Any info would be very much appreciated. Thanx

Hi!

I am from Jackson, WY. I was banded May 19th and have had 4 fills with a total of 2.7 cc's in a 12 cc band.... I am feeling it a bit, but not enough I think. How are you all doing with excercise?

I live just outside Casper. Dr. Todd Becksted did my band on March 3; I am down 26 pounds and would be more except ice cream goes down soooooo easy. I am happy with Dr. B and Deb Miller, the RN who is in charge of the weight loss program at WMC, is an angel.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
