I talked to my pcp nurse and told her I am determined to have weight loss surgery, so she got the referral for me. The surgery center called today and told me paperwork is in the mail regarding a date and time for my first appointment. I'm also seeking out sleep apnea treatment as they won't do surgery if you have untreated sleep apnea. Our town is 2 hours (one way) north of the weight loss surgery center and 45 min (one way) south of the sleep doc. Easier to go 45 min for the sleep doc then have more 2 hour trips south. I have cut soda from my life. Drink a Protein Shake for Breakfast (usually not hungry so this helps get the engine running and gives me protein)

      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.
