I was going to go to Junction City for the lapband, before I decided I was going to go with VSG.

Topic: RE: Hi...looking for support and advice
It is scary. I had gastric bypass surgery about 3 years ago in Junction City. Geary County hospital has a program that I would recommend. I am very pleased with my experience and when I started I was about your weight. Good luck!
Topic: Hi...looking for support and advice
I have been a member for awhile and debated off and on. I live in Salina and I am seriously considering lap band surgery. I weigh about 315 pounds and I am miserable. I want to have more energy and be able to play with my children and I want to see them grow up and get married and be able to play with my future grandchildren. I don't even know where to start on this journey. There isn't anyone in Salina that performs this type of surgery and I don't know where to go or even what I need to do at this point. I'm scared as well. I know it would be better for my family if I lost weight but I am scared that something will go wrong and I will leave my family without me. Anyone out there that can offer some advice?
Topic: RE: Are these rumors? Does anyone know if they are true?
All these posts are pretty old, so I don't know what happened to everyone. I had my surgery w/Dr Bernita Bernsten of Tallgrass in Topeka. I am very pleased w/the results and the aftercare as well. As I posted just a minute ago, I am 1 year out and have lost 116 lbs. My primary care doctor made it a point to say that I should find a surgeon that is on the national lists of surgeons who meet the standard of excellence in their field. Mine does as does most of the surgeons listed at Tallgrass in Topeka.
Topic: 1 year anniversary
I had my 1 yr anniversary on June 3 and saw my surgeon yesterday. I have lost 116 lbs and am feeling great. All my "numbers" were good w/Dr. Bernsten at Tallgrass. I want to get down another 40 lbs, so I still need support. Are any of you in the Marysville area? Our support groups are all about an hour away, so 3 of us have been getting together once a month. I just want to say I feel my surgery was totally worth it; if you are having trouble and need support, let me know.
