I'm a Computer Consultant. Several years ago, I fell in love with a Dutch guy and moved to Holland.

I broke up with the guy but I stayed on as I can pretty much do my exact same job here in this country! :)

Okay, this is only my second day, but I'm loving this. *smile* Anyway, I'm the full time music director for my church. Roman Catholic all the way dude!!! I also teach private music lessons for piano, voice, guitar, and many many more things. I also play professionally for weddings and parties, and compose and arrange music. If there is someone out there with any similarities, I would love to hear from you.

I am a Doctor of Naturopathy/Naturology with an interest in ethnobotany. Essentially...natural medicine. Several years ago I started on a journey to reverse my Multiple Sclerosis...I was not able to do much by then. Constant visits to the ER and unable to move most of my right side and severe cramping of my muscles. When the MD said I needed to start looking for a wheelchair, I rebeled!! I changed many things in my life...MInd, Body and Spirit and went back to school for my Doctorate. This summer I was able to go to the Amazon and to climb Macchu Picchu, not just do the more level part of it. Now I will work on losing weight with the help of the band.

I do not use any pharmaceuticals at all. This surgery will be an exception to my ideals because I see the band as a useful tool, and much safer than a bypass. If anyone ever has questions on how to live a better life through holistic ways...please do ask me! :D

I'm employed with one of the greatest shows on earth "I'm a ringmaster for ringling bros. and barnum and bailey circus!

Yeah, I wouldn't believe me either and no it's not true .. but dang it sounded pretty cool so I thought I'd try it. In reality I own and run a day care center which some do view as the circus and I'm the bag of nuts so maybe I am really a ringmaster of some sort, lol. I received my masters of Ed but had no desire to leave my children with someone else so I decided to become the "someone else" for others I'm also a medic with a private company but have recently cut my hours down and will slowly work out of that job. I've discovered theres only so many hours of a day and I always come up short. OK, *insert psycho smiley here* and that should pretty much sum up "me"

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
