MY Story...(I've posted alot but never introduced myself here)

Hi, everyone I'm glad to be here..I realized that I've got over 100 posts but I never really introduced myself here!

I am a female, my name is Stefanie and I am from New Mexico (it is in the USA... I know some states do not realize that.. NM is by TX, AZ, NV, CO, and UT) :)

I am 32, married (same sex), no children....yet...,I was sleeved on February 25, 2013!!! So this Monday will be 2 weeks that I will have been sleeved!!!

I am excited to be on this journey!

I am a grad student- I am working on my masters in mental health counseling and will graduate in June and finish my internship/hours in September!!! Very excited about that!!

I am 5'5"

Preop diet-317

Preop- day of surgery-307

After sugery- 319!! (Was very sad)

Post op now- 295.4(today)

It took the whole 1st week to lose the fluid/water weight from surgery! Just this week I started seeing actual weight loss which was very very difficult for me--- I felt like the whole 1st week was awful as I did not lose any weight other than the fluids the dr put in me! lol

Well that's it!! I'm happy to be here and I look forward to the journey!! Ohh and if u haven't checked out the closed group Facebook page yet..... U should!!!! It's called no drama wls buddies -- it seems to be great!!! And it is a closed group for those that are not open about it!!!!

:) have a good day!

    It was done in Santa Fe, NM at the crista st Vincent bariatric center - it is new - they started doing it in mat of last yr I believe.. It was great!

    It's a whole program-- a personal RN/ program coordinator, dietitian, counselor, all preop stuff etc was great!! Support group fitness trainer

    Hello fellow New Mexican. I am glad you had such a great experience with st Vincent's. I live in Albuquerque and was sleeved at Lovelace. It's nice to see someone from home on here :)
