I can only imagine how difficult weight loss is in the Big Easy. My cousin lives near New Orleans and in Belle River, my hubs grew up in Denium Springs and still has family there as well in Deridder. Every time we come down the food is amazing, I can never get enough.

I know I will have to be really careful when we head back down next year!! Love Lousiana.

      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.
