Hello!  I am a 53 year old woman looking to make some lifestyle changes and improve my health.  I have struggled with my weight since age 17.  I have lost weight before, but as soon as I shift my focus from hard core dieting and exercise I gain the weight back, plus some!  I suffer from severe degenerative spine disorders and I just had my third spinal fusion in March 2020.  Following surgery I have chronic complications which prevent me from returning to work.  My doctors have all recommended weight loss surgery to help with my chronic spine issues, so I began managed weight loss in December 2019.  I was just about ready for my gastric sleeve surgery when I lost my job....and my insurance.  I was able to get on my husbands insurance right away, but I had to start all over with the 6 month managed weight loss!  Finally, after 13 months, I had my surgery on February 1st, 2021.  Now I’m just looking to hear what others are experiencing on their weight loss journeys and gaining knowledge and experience about what works and doesn’t work.
