Thanks!! Well I'm a 44 years old Hispanic female. Have three sons. Been married for 18 yrs.

As a tradition Hispanic Puerto Rican we eat very unhealthy. I have done so many yo- yo diets as many of you with temporary success. It has been hard Keeping the weight down. My maternal family all have diabetes which many have died with diabetes complications. When I became diabetic it scared me to death. My doctor helped me in every thing she could with my weight loss. Many letters were sent to my insurance for approval. Finally this September it was approved. My big day was 2/1/12 its been almost 1 1/2 months. I was 226 and currently @ 206. My first fill will be 3/13. very new to the lap band. It will be nice to be able to speak to someone on a one on one for support. Thanks

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
