Patty - First off I want to start off by saying WAY TO GO on your success!! I also want to say sorry for the loss of your friend.

Very cool to get exposure on CNN. I don't think I could do an interview like yourself. I think you have impacted many people out there and possibly gave them another option to Gastric Bypass. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!

I am so glad I chose the band it has changed my life in so many ways.

You Go Girl!

GREAT JOB!

What a huge difference in your "before" picture and the new you!

PS - your accent made me soooo homesick! I'm a transplant to Texas from Stoughton - listening to you was like a slice of home :lol:

Great story. Patti, you should think about riding your own. I rode behind by husband for awhile, It was hard for the 2 of us to ride together, so I decided to get my own. I ride a Road King and love it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      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.
