Topic: RE: WELCOME TO THE KANSAS STATE FAIR!
Having grown up in Kansas with my grandparents house only 2 blocks from the fair grounds I miss being there at this time of year.  I now live in Tennessee.  Nashville has the state fair for Tennessee but it is nothing like Hutchinson.  No chicken houses or real livestock...just booths of games and junk and rides.  Hoping you all have a beautiful fall.

Topic: Support Group in Wichita
Hi all!  Boy, have I been away from the boards for awhile!  Its so nice to see so many new faces here! I have read in a few threads that people are looking for a support group in Wichita.  We can always organize our own informal get-together at any time.  I'm always willing to meet with others and talk about our experiences, regardless of our surgery type.  We're all in the same boat and who can provide better support than someone whose been there? I live two hours from Wichita, but I'm always there on Tuesday afternoons, and I'll be there a couple of Saturdays in October (13th and 20th) so if anyone wants to get together, reply here or send me a message! I think you KC girls need to organize a road trip and get your skinny butts down here so we all can meet (ahem!  Helana!!!  )!!!!

Glad you enjoyed the fair! I enjoyed Matt talking about how impressed he was by the giant pumpkins! The winner this year even had mention on Paul Harvey today. Now THAT was a huge pumpkin! I wanted so badly to try to grow giant pumpkins, but then injured my foot, and my crop went to pot two years ago. I am so in awe of those big 'punkins'! I read in the paper the winner said that he gave the winning pumpkin 100 gallons of water a DAY! Also, there was a break in the vine, and he used plumbers tape to tape it up and it worked! I would like to go back to the fair, but am in school all day Saturday and have church and activities Sunday, so will skip it! Glad you had a good time. If you get a chance, you should check out the Kansas Cosmosphere and the Underground Salt Museum, just down the road from our house that opened a few months ago. You go 650' down under the earth. I haven't worked up the nerve for the elevator ride in the dark yet though - ha! Come share our city!  Hugs, LaNeta

I had my gastric bypass in Dec. 2005.  I was Dr. Narciso first bypass, but I was not worried because Dr. Bollman was also there.  I had a wonderful experience with both the doctors and the nurses.  My friend who works at the hospital is the one who had the leak.  I had some minor complications that they took care of.  Both Dr. Bollmand and Dr. Narsico are wonderful people.  I have not heard of any complications from other patients.  The ladies at LiveLite will be there with you through the whole process.  Feel free to email me anytime. Take Care

I was at the state fair on Wednesday.  My husband took a giant pumpkin to the fair.  It only weighted 84.6 lbs.  I told him that was a start.  Maybe next year his will be bigger!  I also saw Matt Roloff.  He was great.  My hubby took a picture of me with Matt but he cut my head off!   Enjoyed it so much I will be there on Sunday. Have a GREAT Evening,

Maybe I can bring it up to the fair board - ha! I always enjoy watching people the most, I think. We only got to see llamas this year, as I missed those gorgeous Percherons and Belgian Horses. I love those big guys! Hubby and I did have a slice of pizza that was so good. I left three fourths of the crust, and the rest was pretty much protein, but it was SO good. I came back on the straight and narrow though. Don't want to get too far away from the approved diet stuff! I figure once a year... Take care!  LaNeta

LaNeta, I went to the Fair last weekend. We took two of my grandsons, they had a ball. I have always enjoyed going to the fair. But it is not quite the same these days. I think i miss the Pronto Pups, funnel cake, carmel apples, cotton candy, fried this and that.  They need to add a protein shake booth next year.  Thanks

Life is a journey, don't waste the trip.

I had my RNY there 5 yrs ago and up until I moved last year they had a steller complication rate...I can't believe that has changed. Dr Bollman and his staff are WONDERFUL!!! Very careing and knowledgeable. If you have ???'s the best thing for you to do is attend a support group meeting and talk to the actual patients and Docs. the Doctors and nurses are at EVERY meeting. Talk to Pam about the complication rate and fing out the truth...they were always very proud of their standings. Hope this helps...you have to find someplace that you feel very comfortable with..this is the rest of your life and you should be dealing with them as well. BIG HUGS!!! Deanna K
