OT: Anyone from

Tioga?  Just curious, that's where I grew up (been gone for over 20 yrs now, but....)

I'm not from Tioga, I'm from Williston, but I have a good friend from Tioga, and know a few people originally from there.  Deb and hubby and girls just moved back to Tioga about a year ago. I'm guessing she must be around your age if you left 20 years ago.

Val, did you have your surgery done in Williston or Minot? I worked at both Mercy in Williston and Trinity in Minot and wondered if they both had the program now? Or did you have it somewhere else?

I had it done at St. A's in Bismarck. Minot does have a program and surgeon, but not Williston. There is a new surgeon in Williston who did lap-band in residency, don't know if he's going to start in Williston or not.  If you worked at Mercy, you may know my friend Janitda. She moved to Bismarck 6-7 years ago, maybe more, and works at St. A's. She had RNY 3 years ago and is doing great!
