Introduce myself

Hi my name is Holly. Currently, I live in Peoria, Illinois. Soon I will be moving to Des moines Ia. My job here is closing so I decided to transfer to Des Moines. Although, I have not talked to my doctor yet I was wondering if anyone knew any wonderful wls doctors in des moines. My dr here is absolutely wonderful. Please let me know thank you . I look forward to joining your state. Holly

Holly, It's nice to meet you. There are many good docs in the central Iowa area. You will have several choices. You can check out most of them on this site. I am not sure if the program at Methodist Hospital is taking any new patients at this time. And there is a newer (but also good) program at Mercy. There are also several docs in surrounding communities such as Grinnell, Ames and Boone. The Iowa messageboard folks are very nice and very supportive. I have not had any negative comments nor would I give any. Hope the move is uneventful. Best wishes on your journey. I'm 12 weeks post-op, down just over 40 pounds, and feeling great! - Deb W.

Hi Holly, Welcome to Iowa!! You will be in an area to have a lot of options available to you. I'm sure you will find what you're looking for. I hope the job change and the move go well for you and hopefully you will be happy with both. Sue

Hi Holly, Girl, you are moving from some of my old stomping grounds into the new. I was born in Princeton, Illinois and now live near Davenport, Iowa. Don't know of any docs in your new area, but wanted to say welcome anyway. God bless, Andrea open RNY 12/8/03 down 36 pounds
