Hi,

I'm at the start of my journey I go to my first intro meeting at the jax weight loss center on 12/11. I believe my insurance won't cover the surgery (bcbs fl employee)so I'm expecting a very long uphill journey to lose weight. I am also hypothryoid and I'm wondering if they surgery will actually help me.

      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.
