WAKE UP UTAH

WOW This is one DEAD board . Come on Utah lets hear your voice , were are ya ! What are ya , pre - op , post - op , NON - op ? What type of surgery did  ya have ?  Me I had lap band , lost 125 lbs over two years ago and love it .   Best wishes  Nick from northen Ut .

Nick, I've watched this Utah board and it DOES move really slow (most of the time).   I just post on the main RNY board and seem to get responses a lot faster and more people commenting than on here.    You might want to try the main board if you want to chat with more people more often.    And congrats on your WL, 125 lbs is awesome dude!!!!  Christie from Southern SL County want to have the RNY soon!!! 255 lbs currently/ goal wt is 130 lbs

I am just starting to look into my options. My doc recommended the lapband, so thats where  I'm starting. I had no idea you could lose that much with the lapband, congrats!

Well Susie Let me tell you that my wife has had lap-band too . She has lost over one hundred Lbs too , although it has taken her a little bit longer . down from 350 lbs to 220 and I love my life . I now commute to work on my bike .( about 8 miles )  I scuba dive . I Sky dive . And I can sit in a both at a restaurant. I am training for my first one hundred mile ride ( on my bike ) this summer.I cant wait !!

My wife is now gaining interst in cycling too . It is amazing what you can do when you weigh a hundred lbs less . LOL  Good luck with your WLS endeavors      NIck 

Wow! How cool is that! Where did you have your surgery at? I live in Roy, so not too far from you guys

Susie,  I live in Roy, also.  I live just off of the new part of Midland Drive, 5250S CT

Wow! I live on 5225..............Sounds like you're close to Kents like me, how funny!

Hey there!

I had RNY on 7/13/06 and have lost 150 and have another 70-80 to go. IT WILL HAPPEN! I am working on my 'issues' and moving forward.

I just started a support group in Cedar City (tell your Southern friends!) and a radio support group. LOVING LIFE! Where is everyone???

Peggy, this board is so slooow.   I just post on the main RNY msg board now mostly because it moves a lot faster than this board.  If you post something on here, it might take a month or so to even get ONE response, lol.       Congrats on your new support group and radio group!   And good job for all the weight loss you've had girl  ! Christie

OK...I am fresh meat in here!  I am trying to schedule surgery for the end of this month but keep running into road blocks.  I actually went to a Dr in Southern Utah where I am, but he had never done a revision and so I didn't want to be his first!  So now I am working with Dr. Cottam's office, but it is so slowwwwww and there seems to be tons of roadblocks.  But I am hopeful as I need this bad!  I am 6 ft tall and weight 408 lbs.  I actually started the pre-surgery diet this past Monday because I figure the smaller I can get my liver the better.
