LOOKING FOR SUPPORT IN SOUTHERN CO

 Hi,
I'm new to this forum and the journey to thinness (is that a word?) Anyway I'm trying to find people from my local area, Durango, Cortez, Mancos, or the four corners area in general. Please message me if you are from this area. I have lots of questions and need support and would like to be supportive also. Thanks so much! 

Don't live in that area, but I am a year post op - might be able to offer answers to some questions you have

Awesome! I would appreciate that very much.  I am just starting my 6 month diet with the pcp.  I'm pretty certain I have picked a surgeon. Dr Johnell , however I am a little caught up on deciding between the band or the sleeve.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! 

Well I had thought about the band, but after discussion with my surgeon and PCP, I learned that when a bmi is higher than 43 the problems with the band increase quite a bit. I was 57 bmi - I went with the RNY - I've lost about 128 pounds and just over a year out and a week.

Hi,
I don't live in Colorado, but I do live in Moab, UT.  I'm almost 5 years out so maybe I can answer your questions, and I certainly can give you support.  And yes, thinness is a word, (I think), but it is a state of mind!!!
What kind of surgery did you have? or are you still waiting?  Who is your surgeon? Hospital?
Anyway, good luck.
You can contact me directly if you want at [email protected]
Good bless,
Kimberly
