Granted, carrying excessive, uncomfortable weight brings with it physiological misery. Difficulties with mobility, chronic weight-related ...
Happy Friday!!! Yesterday turned out to be a pain in the ass day at work. I still can't believe the plant manager lets some of guys get away with the shit they do. I was so tempted to just leave yesterday. Someone keeps messing up the ash trailers which in…

Friday Eve is here again. Still bitter cold out, but it is slowly starting to break. Yesterday we had one of the big air compressors that help with the boilers go off-line at work right before reporters from The Day newspaper came to do a story and take pictures. So…

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…
I DO NOT RECOMMEND, DR MICHAEL WILLIAMS for surgery. He performed my laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair. Dr. Michael Williams surgery has left me with chronic nerve pain. Im in pain every second of my life with sharp aching pains, burning, and painful intimacy. I cant lift anything heavier than 10…

Dr. Ferzli is an angel and a really kind person. I have found that his support groups and aftercare program help me a lot. I love his whole program!
