Greetings from Indiana



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone-

I would like to introduce myself, my name is Shanon and I live in southern Indiana. I have 2 wonderful little girls and I am happily married, I own a Sensual Lingerie store here locally and I attend classes at night. After much consideration I chose the Lap-band because I have always been overweight and I also have diabetes. I love to show my miniature horses, and last year I got into driving them. But in some of my show pics I noticed that it looked like this little tiny horse, pulling an elephant and I said enough is enough.

I have tried every diet known to man, and the only thing that really ever worked was my divorce :wink2: but then I remarried and the weight came back with a vengence and I gained more that I lost. I am scheduled to be banded on Wednesday the 28th, just 2 more days. :cryin: I am excited and nervous. I did not have any problems with the insurance, once I had my approval I was scheduled ASAP. I have been having a hard time with the pre-op diet but I have followed everything to the letter (Lost 9 pounds this week). I look forward to meeting everyone here and I hope to inspire and be inspired. Thanks

Shanon

      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.
