Ah-HA! I see all of you Iowa people!! Get in here!!

Hi friends -

I live near Des Moines and had rny surgery in 2008 at Mercy.      This post is a little quiet - with the exception of the posts about the failed plastic surgery.   I am so sorry for her,  and wish she would find some peace.

Now that the weather has turned lovely - is everyone getting out and walking for exercise, gardening for stress relief, and preparing for summer clothing?      I've been doing my strength training - but have come to realize that the arm flaps and thigh skin is probably just here to stay and may be best if I don't share it with everyone.   ;-)

Hello everyone!  I live in rural Reinbeck, IA, and am in need of a Bariatric Surgeon that does VBG revisions.  I had my VBG in 1999 and have had to have 3 back surgies shortly after.  I did lose weight but have gained it all back and now I have Chronic Back pain, disabled and live on pain medication.  My body is saying it needs more pain meds but I do not want to take them.  I want to lose this weight to get off all the medication I have to take.    I have a long story but right now I am needing someone to help me find the right doctor that will do a revision on a 12 y/o VBG. 

Any advice or information would be of great help to me.

I'm from eastern Iowa-Tama
