Hi Connie! I live just east of Ames in Nevada(for another 10 days) and have family up in MN. Just the opposite of you. Elizabeth

Elizabeth, thanks for the reply. Where are you moving to in Minnesota???? I know a couple people in Nevada also. connie d

I'm not moving to MN, but I do have family in Rochester. I"m going the other way, south. I have been in Nevada since 1985 and know quite a few people here. I need a change in my life now so time to move on. Elizabeth

I thought you meant oppisite of St. Cloud. Oh well, I am BLONDE!!!!! connie d

Hi, Connie. I live in Iowa, but we will be moving to Grand Rapids, MN when we retire. We bought 10 acres north and east of there a few years ago. In fact, we are headed up there the end of this week for a camping trip. We just love the area. Minnesota has so much to offer! When is your surgery? I had mine done 3 1/2 years ago. I'm so glad I did it, but am really struggling to not gain weight. So, don't let people tell you you won't gain it back! Best of luck to you! Barb Lanning

Hi Connie, I am Karen and I am NEW to this board and Gastric Bypass! I just had my surgery April 9th! My Firefighter Husband had his Feb 26th....! I live in Muscatine, Iowa....! Glad to meet you! Karen
