There are lots of people here in Cheyenne that have had wls but doesn't seem like anyone is on this site.
Actually I was going to get off the OH boards because BCBS just denied me for the second time so I need to figure out what my next step is.
Hi everyone, there is a wls event being held at Regional West Med Center in Scottsbluff, NE. It is on March 31st, 2012. It is from 8-2 in the Scottsbluff rooms. The cost of the event is 40.00 whi*****ludes lunch and snacks. There will a be cooking class, motivation and education. It is also a good place to talk with other bandsters and bypassers. Call me if you need information or to sign up. My number is 877-790-0006. Hope to see you there. Mona

Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!
Anyone here from Cheyenne??
I just wanted to let people know there is a forum for the community and anyone who is friendly and want to stop by. I was very active 3 years ago and would like to see it become active again. It is listed under "weight loss related"
I am not attempting to offend anyone. I understand that some might not agree with me posting. I am doing it to help LGBT people. Everyone has the right to not agree. I respect that.
Thank You !
