    • About Me

      Starting weight 228 GBP 11/17/08 Current weight 154 Goal weight 118 I am married to a wonderful man, Garey, and we have 3 (mostly) terrific kids. Corey 16, Tony 14 and Stephanie 11. I am a nurse working in Madison WI. I have been struggling with my weight since 5th grade. I changed schools in 5th grade and I remember thinking as we walked up to the new school "No one will like me because I'm fat." I waited to be able to have gastric bypass for many years before insurance coverage made it possible. I have tried everything to lose weight and so desperately wanted a "permanent fix." I have no regrets!

      From PattyTwinB May 31

      Thanks so much for your feedback. I wasn't sure if I was suppose to be feeling full on a liquid diet or not. From your explanation, I am not. I see my sugeon for the post-op appointment next Wednesday. I can't believe it's been 12 days since my surgery.
      Take care!
