Ex-WV'an here. At the LAP-BAND® seminar, there was a map of the US with all the states color coded for percentage of obese. WV and one other state now hold the dubious honor of moving up to a whole new level of color coding for over a 30% obesity rate (I believe that's the number). My ancestors go all the way back on both sides of my family to the 1700s. I don't think I ever stood a chance genetically. :(
My husband and I both were born in Parkersburg and lived in WV until our early 20s. I live in VA now, but I get back to WV at least once a year.
Much success to all of you!

No, Joy told me today that I have to be there on July 1 at 9:00 am for a class that lasts a couple of hours and then after that there is something else that I have to attend.
Yes, Joy is super as well as the dietician,and man I like dr. Robarts.I have no worrys about him doing my surgery
My wife also works at St.Mary's.
I am already on a low carb diet due to high triglicerides that I have to get done,so Joy told me today just to stay with the program from now untill surgery.
See you are HERD fan,I am also,I bleed green always have.
Season Ticket holder (many years),big green and everything else,and yes I am a member of HERDNATION.
Nice talking to you and hope we can share this journey and maybe help each other out with some tips along the way.
Good luck to you.

I am from Charleston, WV but live in Hurricane. I am seeing Dr. Bali. I had my first consult last week. He says I am a good candidate so we are starting the process. We are hoping that we can get BCBS to move a little quicker than the six months. My surgeon's office says that they have gotten a little better over the last year or so. They will be calling me next week to schedule the psych part of it. I am really excited about the whole thing. The only part that scares me is being put to sleep. I was even awake for my hysterectomy.

I'm planning on taking the kidlets to the festival this weekend. They love the music and the food!
Hubby and I are both having it done. I guess since it was his idea I have to let him go first  But I'm ready NOW! I'm hoping we can both do the testing/evaluations/meetings together and then space our surgeries out a month.

I am going to a friend's house, Raven's Haven, she used to run a parrot rescue and they are taking me to the festival. I am so excited. I, too, want the surgery done, yesterday. But the only consolation is that it will not be as long as it has been.

We had talked about doing the surgeries together, but decided it would be better to space them apart.
