I started my journey this morning by going to a seminar. I should get a call this coming week letting me know of my coverage for insurance. I am going through OhioHealth and am an employee, so it will be covered.

I have been overweight much of my life and am now bigger than I have been for awhile. I have been wanting to do the gastric sleeve for awhile, but my moment of of truth came when I had to do the walk of shame off of a ride at Cedar Point. I was unable to ride the new Valraven because I was too big to fit in the seat . I see what my Mom and patient's go through being obese and I am starting to feel it in my body. I feel it in my knees, I am so tired all of the time and depression plays a big part as well. I just want to be healthy and be around for my son. I want to go and be able to ride any ride and be confident that I can fit in the seat.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
