Good morning gang. We got some rain last night and today it is windy, but 50 out. The temps are slowly getting warmer here in the Northeast. A friend posted yesterday on FB that he was at a local feed store and couldn't figure out why there was a line…

Good morning gang. Got half of my pepper seeds planted last night and in two weeks will do the rest along with some tomato and eggplant. Then in April I will do the other veggies that don't take as long to germinate and grow. It amazes me how there are…

Good Monday morning everyone. The weekend was pretty good. We got three alfalfa bales for the rabbits and goats and while we were at the farm I asked if they had any beef specials going on. They still had the sirloins 15% off so we went over to the beef…

Good morning gang. Yesterday ended up being a very productive day at work and also at home. Even though the copier at work decided to stop working we have backup printers so I was still able to get just about everything done that needed to be completed. Then when I…

Happy Hump Day gang. Yesterday started off quiet, but by lunchtime it turned into a hectic afternoon. After the BAU audit last week, it was determined that the mobile equipment inspection forms needed to be revamped. A person was assigned to do that because they said they could, well they…

Ok, I've tried and tried to figure this out but can't, so I'll ask here and see if anyone knows. I got an iPhone, I'm technically challenged. I can post on Facebook from it, but cannot figure out how to reply to a post on OH with it. Any ideas???…

Good morning gang. It's supposed to be 50plus today which is going to feel like a heat wave. Yesterday wasn't too bad and a lot of the snow/ice melted. We are having a pizza luncheon today for a co-worker who is transferring to our Saugus, MA plant. He's been with…

Consistency is harder when nobody is clapping for you. You must clap for yourself during those times. You should always be your biggest fan. i saw this post on another app i use. This hit me hard this morning.

On tuesday, my gp checked my blood pressure and my weight and found that both were high but not too much. Nevertheless, I was advised to take regular exercise and make changes in my diet in terms of the types of things i've been eating. That will no doubt continue…

It's hard to believe it's been 24 years since I had a duodenal switch in Spain with Dr. Aniceto Baldasar. I've been able to maintain around 140-144 for years now and I'm 5'5". I'd rather be at 135 but my body always finds a way to stabilize about 5 pounds…

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…

Dr. Ferzli is so very compassionate and caring. He has a great bedside manner and an awesome program. All the nurses and staff were so friendly and welcoming too. I would recommend Dr. Ferzli and the whole office to anyone I know.
I have had gastric sleeve in 2022. I had heard that Dr. Suber was the plastic surgeon to see about skin removal, etc. I saw him and he is just phenomenal. He does a lot of this type of surgeries, and it shows. He has 24 years experience (I checked…
Choosing to have a mini gastric sleeve procedure is easily one of the best decisions and greatest gifts I've ever given myself. And selecting Dr. Alvarez and his team at Endobariatric to perform it was without a doubt the right choice for me. From the moment I reached out, the…
?????????? Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Valenzuela! A few years ago, I had the gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela (Dr. V), and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions of my life. The results have been truly amazing, and I am beyond grateful for her…
Best bariatric surgeon I’ve ever met. Aside from seeing her work from up close I just underwent surgery with her. She is very attentive, informative and caring. She answers any and all questions. This is the very first time I’ve ever gotten surgery and I felt very safe. 1000% would…
