Recommended Posts

I am new to this group and bariatric surgery..Trying to learn all I can (what to expect!) I am a 31BMI, not considered heavy enough for surgery but I have a pyloric stenosis that has to be dialated ever 3-4 weeks and surgery is my only cure. I had kidney cancer in 8/2012 and have been gaining ever since. I have always been a skinny gal but now I'm a 16sz and miserable due to my health and weight. My doctor us doing the RNY to fix both my blockages and help my health from progressing worse...I'm 48-live in Pensacola, FL..can't wait to meet everyone..thanks for accepting me into the groups!

      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.
