Hello, My name is NaNoska but everyone calls me NoNo. This is my very first post here and I am really excited! Almost all my life, I have been overweight and I tried everything under the sun to lose weight but was unable to do so. And so on March 25, 2013 is the day that forever changed my life. Before surgery I weighed at 236lbs and as of today I am at 190! I have lost 46lbs and 6 inches from sizes 22 to 16. I thanked God for giving me a second chance at life and health. I also want to thank my family and friends for their unconditional love and support throughout my journey. And last but not least, to my wonderful surgeon Dr. Michael Bono and staff of Hazelton General for doing such a fantatic job both pre and post op, they were amazing! I can't wait to read some more amazing stories from everyone on here!!!
