My name is Kimberly and I found out about Bariatric Pal by browsing different websites researching after surgery.
I am 13 months out and I have lost 90 pounds. I no longer have sleep apnea, diabetes, ankle and joint pain and my energy level is much higher.
Some of the bad parts of surgery is getting caught up in the quick protein meals and snacks after about 6 months. Since my weight has plateaued for 5 months now and seeing my doctor again, I was informed I needed to make adjustments again to the way I eat because my pouch can tolerate sugar and bread now.
All and all, I am so happy that my health is much better and I have added years to my life.
