Diana Anderson Jarvela

I started my journey in October 2009. I was 344 pounds and hating the way i looked and felt. I made an appointment to see my primary care doctor and started my journey. I had to see a nutritionist for 6 months, had all kinds of tests done to make sure I was ok and to be prepared for surgery. While i was seeing the nutrionist I lost 70lbs before my surgery. She showed me how to eat and what to eat. It definately was a lifestyle change. I had my surgery on July 17th 2010. I have lost 90 pounds since my surgery. I feel absolutely wonderful! 160 pounds down and only 20 more to go!
