My name is Brenda and I live in Arkansas. I have been to this site and have posted some pix but never formally introduced myself. I had my surgery a year ago today and have been ever so thankful ever since. My surgeons name is Dr Rachael Keilin (the best in the business). :) She is so kind and concerned. I have lost almost 70 lbs since my surgery with only 8 more lbs to go to reach my own personal goal. I am here to help anyone that I can because I know that this journey is not easy. I thought it would be much easier than it actually is but anything worth having is worth working for.

Which part of Arkansas??

Where is your doctor located?

I grew up in Fort Smith and my husband grew up in Pine Bluff (Watson Chapel). I've only banded a few weeks. I'd love to know how much you've lost and how you knew when to stop eating! I haven't mastered that yet and I get too full and it hurts pretty bad for about 30 minutes or so.

      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.
