Amy LizHellllloooooooo Thursday! I am thrilled that it's here. WFH today & tomorrow, which is amazing. Yesterday was a lot of peopling. I had hoped adrenaline would get me through it but I admit to a moment of weakness and I ordered a Venti caffeinated iced coffee. It was heaven and…

So, Ive set my second mini goal. I want to get to 260.0 by the end of June. I've got 3.4 pounds to lose next month. I know that's not much but, I'm a slow loser. I haven't been 260 roughly 13 years.

I had bariatric RnY in 2012. Did very well, in spite of not having a not so supportive husband. Went from 303 to 189, then had an injury. We moved from Iowa to my home state of Virginia. My husband eventually came around. His job as a software engineer eventually moved us…

Has anyone had to get IV iron infusion therapy recently? I can't seem to find a hospital near me. Is it true? This is no longer covered by OHIP?

Not sure if anyone is still around. I am about 16 years post op. Never made it to my goal weight of 150. I have stayed consistently between low 160's and 170's. Seems to be my sweet spot. No complaints. Far cry from 265 (pre op). Well if anyone is…

I had a sleeve revision in January. Original surgery was in February of 2016 and I maintained most of my weight loss. This surgery was to help lose additional weight to see if I can gain mobility and have future knee surgery. It's slow going. I don't weigh in as…

Dr. Alvarez and his staff are wonderful and the facility is the best medical facility in which I have ever been treated. My pre-op process was very clearly explained and the pre-op diet was not as difficult as I had feared. Travel was fantastic and I felt safe and protected…

I started my bariatric surgery journey with Dr Jon Pirrello in 2021. He removed my lap band that was put in in 2003. I was such a mess inside. The lap band had slipped up off from the stomach area and was attached to my esophagus, my spleen and the…
