Hey y'all! I've in finally got the junk to join y'all in your chatters!!

Cliff note verison of my story.

I've been thinking about WLS for February 2012 on and off, until May 2012 when I started to slowly research things. Search out websites, books, and everything. So with the support of my handsome hubby we went to an info session at MUSC, Tuesday June 5. Asked him which surgery he liked the best. He was leaning told the vertical sleeve and so was I. But I was teetering on the edge of RNY or Sleeve.

So I turn in my paperwork, get the ball rolling on that end. I got a call yesterday, June 7, saying they got my paper work and were going to pass it. And today I spoke with my dietitian and then for my call to meet and talk with my Doc one on one ad figure the best route for me. So I meet with him on June 21, 2012!!! Yay! :)

I'm so excited! And I've decided I'm going with the RNY gastric bypass. I figure I'm the go big or go home type of gal! I want to live around for a loooong time, so why not go with most chance for weight loss!

So thanks for reading! And hope to see y'all around!

      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.
