Happy Hump Day!!! Irvin's birthday dinner was amazing. He was so happy with everything. The sirloin was grilled to perfection medium rare and we only ate half of it. The squash pie came out perfect and I added walnuts and pecans to it for an added treat. The best part…

I'm in the last week of my time in Italy. It has been a wonderful experience and given me a lot to think about. I am always soothed and gladdened by the scenery even when just riding up the hill on a bus. There are plenty of towns that are…

Where has the time gone. The struggle is real, some days. Always on my mind, the relief that I am not struggling to climb stairs, walk long distances, or play with our grandchildren. Life is good, even on days I eat my way through the day. RNY is part of…

I had a very successful surgery but now I'm in need of records from my surgery in 1994. Does anybody know how I can get them???
I had my surgery 10/2024. SW 299 CW 245. The experience I received from Dr. Alvarez and Endohospital was amazing. When starting the process, I will admit, I was a little scared. I knew this was the direction for me but was apprehensive on the process and support and frankly…
