Hi everyone, my name is Desiree'. I'm a mother of four great kids and an RN on a Pediatric ICU floor in Missouri.

I have my seminar May 17th. This will be my 3rd seminar in 2 years. I've gone to the seminar and completed most of a 6 month preoperative diet. I switched jobs and lost my insurance 5 months into my journey. Decided I'd try the following year and my Dr. said he'd fight my the insurance company. That didn't go well.

This time, my insurance covers the surgery. There are several steps to cover, but they cover up to 30k. So, here I go again.

Desiree'

Thanks. I'm hoping for the sleeve, I'm not sure if we're done having kids (talking one more, call me crazy). I have several friends who've had wls and those who had the sleeve seem to recover a little easier.

Her reasoning....if you have one you might as well have 5. Lol

Congratulations and good luck.

My grandma said that babies are like biscuits. If you're going to the trouble to make one, make a dozen. I did not take her advice.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
