  4. I watched the on line part for thr program yesterday. I have to enter my information for insurance yet. I know my insurance pays for it. I live and work in Wausau will that be difficult for this program with the UW? What impresses me is that all these departments work together. Where my friend had it done its not like that at all. That is terrific that you had it in 2015 and have kept the weight off. How did you keep focused after the surgery to not allow the weight to come back? I see what my friend is going through a little over 3 months and she is afraid to eat at times. I know everyone reacts different to foods etc. Glad to known you had the surgery at UW Madison.

  8. Prior to deciding on surgery how much weight loss has been common for everyone? Last fall I was at least 260 pounds. Decided to join the local YMCA and swim with a great friend. Gained another to swim with us. Last fall was swimming at least 3 times a week. This spring and summer has been crazy only about 2 times a week. Now at stalling out on the weight loss.

  13. I see the fatty liver clinc at UW Madison on the last Tuesday of August. Sorry that your son had to have all that happen. How is he doing now? The boyfriend is like it's his job to keep me healthy. I was a wreck prior to meeting and dating him. Lots of fast food and prepared meals that where not what I should have been doing. I struggle with depression and anxiety and attention deficit disorder as well. Looking at UW Madison because all the departments work alongside each other.

  15. I am five months from finding out I have issues with my liver. Seeing fatty liver clinc this month. They are suggesting weight loss surgery. I started swimming in Sept. 2021 and was at 260 now I an at 240. I have a history of Gerd, lymphedema, asthma, obstructive sleep apnea, psoriatic arthritis too boot. Boyfriend does not think I need surgery. He comes from a family where his mom is very obese. I have a good friend who is 3 months out past surgery.
