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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
