Topic: RE: Support group
Hi Kelli - I'm not in Wichita, but I'm a lapbander and I try to get together with anyone who is willing whenever I'm in Wichita. I posted on the Yahoo boards that I'll be there April 12 if anyone wants to have lunch, dinner, coffee, just hang out....etc. We had a pretty good group going for awhile and then fell off through the holidays. CL even drove down from near Kansas City once!
Any of you are welcome to post here or IM me if you'd like to get together on the 12th. I'd love to get a group going again!!

Topic: RE: KANSAS ROLL CALL!!
1. My name is Valena
2. I had a Lap RNY 5/3/2004
3. I weighed 325 as my high, weighed 312 when I went into surgery due that pesky one week liquid diet...this AM I weighed 167.5. I had stalled around 176, but got pregnant...my high while preggo was 191, weighed 164 when I got home. So for some reason that helped a bit!
4. I am cool where I'm at but I wouldn't mind 10 more pounds!!
5. I am still an emotional eater and I eat choco and drink pop and don't exercise!! I am GREAT at drinking water though!! ha ha ha
Dr. Steward at Tallgrass did my surgery in Topeka...I have read a few of you have him... he is AWESOME!!!

Topic: PCP/ Pediatrician Reccomendations?
Hello!
My name is Darrah. I had RYN just a few days over a year ago, and I'm fixing to have a baby any old day now (happened kind of fast after surgery). Anyway, my husband and I are moving back to the KC area (not sure if will be KS or MO side yet, but prolly Johnson Co. KS again) in mid May. I need a PCP that's familliar with RYN, and we'll need a pediatrician, because if ms. thing here isn't out on her own by April 13th, I'm being induced that day.
Any suggestions of who I should see or avoid?
Thanks and great to meet you all!
Topic: Would you be interested?
Hi Everyon
I live in the Pittsburg, KS area, and another lady I know that has had RNY and I would absolutely love to get a support group going in this area. I had my surgery in Junction City, and it's just too hard to drive 4 1/2 hours one way to attend a support group meeting. Keep in mind we don't want this meeting to be just post-ops...If you live in the area and want to attend, you would be very welcome!! I'd love to hear from anyone that would like to see a support group close to us. We're not sure when we can get this going, but I really feel that we need the support!!! I usually try to check in at least once a day, however, sometimes it might be 2 days before I can. I hope to hear from you all!!
Have a Great Evening!!
Hugs

Hi Everyon
For any of you in the Pittsburg, KS area we have 3 different churches that offer this food program. They have a different menu each month, and I have done this on a few occasions, it's well worth the money!!

Topic: RE: online petition
Thanks for the advice. I aggree it should only be morbidly obese.
Actually this petition was something that I found online, I did not start the petition.
I do believe in workings small first. I have been in contact with all my local legislators. You can read the thread titled "Call for Action!" on this page if you want to read more about it. 
I encourage everyone to contact our statehouse!

YES! Solutions for Life has them every Tuesday. They are at 6100 East Central, behind the Genesis building. 689-5235 I am pretty sure it is at 5:30. I did not have lap band, but Dr. Dort is now doing lap band here in Wichita, so I am sure they will welcome you. Let me know if you want a "buddy" to go with you!
