About Me

  • Biography
    I have been over weight since I was a teenager. Was diagnosed with high cholesterol and type two diabetes at age 23. I also had PCOS and hypothyroidism. I have struggled with my health and weight for years. I also had sleep apnea. I was in so many medications including two different types of insulin. My blood sugars were still uncontrolled and my over all health was really declining in 2020. I was denied surgery the first time in 2020 and had to wait a year to resubmit. Thank God I was approved the second time because this surgery saved my life. My liver was in terrible shape and I had neuropathy in my feet. My brain was fuzzy and I was so tired. Now I feel so much better. Just started oral meds for my diabetes. Off all shots and my A1C is almost in normal range. I have more energy and I have more cognitive clarity! I am enjoying life with my family again!
