For too long, individuals with obesity have been unfairly labeled and defined solely by their weight, with phrases like "the obese patient" being used even in medical settings. This kind of language can feel dehumanizing, as though your entire identity is being reduced to a single condition. Living with obesity is hard enough without also ...
Good morning ~ Happy taco Tuesday! Yesterday was my driving day and it was lovely until I got to the hotel and it was over 100 degrees. I took a walk and was dying; damn I am not used to this. I’m within walking distance of some fun places but…
YmalizGood morning menuers ~ Okay, I'll start because I really need to post for accountability and to set intentions so here goes! I took lots of naps over the weekend but was decently productive yesterday. Good news, I woke up to 99% clear skin and just 1 itchy little spot.…
YmalizGood morning ~ ^ that, it's how it is these days! It is a very good morning today!! I didn't have any issues with rash or itching last night. I have two small areas that are inflamed/itchy on my side and wrist, but otherwise my skin is clear. What a…
YmalizGood morning ~ I slept in until 6 this morning. It's so rare and I'm always surprised. My rash seemed to calm down some yesterday. Doc said it might be an allergic reaction to antibiotics. But after having a repeat of of the previous night and waking up scratching with…

Good Morning and Happy Friday! I think that sign was the trap I fell into on Wednesday and 10/10 recommend. My stomach was still feeling off yesterday and Grim was not too far from my office when he finished up his doctor's appointment so I had him come get me…

Very interesting and informative personal look at Tammy via TikTok .. (Sorry this is a bit late, as her 1-year surgiversary was actually earlier this year): https://www.tiktok.com/@amandahalterman0/video/7342903744943672619?lang=en
BatwingsmanMorning all. Well, a day on the couch was just what the doctor ordered. I got the maximum amount of rest that a person can get. I feel much better and maybe I look a little less raccoonish? I got less than zero steps and rotted my brain with true…
Queen JBGood Morning, gang. I've been feeling incredibly yucky for a few days so I decided to take a sick day today. With any luck I will get in some naps and resemble that little frog soon. QOTD: Any suggestions for a good binge watch? Can be old or new! I…
Queen JBHappy Tuesday, Friends. Welcome to adulthood, where I will share how tired I am with you all, haha. The crappy thing that happened last week at work came to an outcome yesterday. I think it went well, but it was stressful, and I dreamt about it on a loop all…
Queen JBMorning all. I would say this meme feels accurate. I had a very nice weekend that was a combo of hanging with friends and teaching a cookie class yesterday. Both were great and I would love one more day before having to face the week. But thankfully I got a…

My lap band was shocking me. It was the worse feeling. I woke up many things during the night feeling like I was shocking to death. Also, the port in my stomach would flip when I bend down sometime with alot of pain. Thank God it's out.

I am a bad blogger honestly. I don't do much Facebook, Instagram or ticktock... Now for some reason I do like Twitter now known as X. I am 19 years out from WLS. OMG. Can I say this is the best thing I ever done for myself... yes. My…

Surgery was 9/11/24. I was very nervous just prior to going into the operating room, obviously, but Baranov’s team was very thorough and made me feel at ease. They reassured me, kept me informed and answered all of my questions. I am very happy with my experience. I look forward…

Well, almost 3 years again since I last posted - time flies, life goes on, we hit our obstacles and find paths around them! I'm now 4 years past my HPV P16+ Squamous Cell Carcinoma Throat Cancer diagnosis and treatment and still in remission! Oddly enough, one of the biggest…

I have malabsorption syndrome and need to find a specialist to help me treat it.

Wow. It is hard to believe that TWENTY YEARS have passed since that life-changing day. I'm not the poster child for surgery by no means. I'm about 30 pounds over my "comfortable" weight. I'm also about 40 pounds over my lowest. That's a hard pill to swallow, sometimes, honestly. You…

My experience with Dr. Choi was excellent. The consultation was very pleasant; he was friendly and took the time to explain everything thoroughly. I was glad to hear that the operation was completed in under an hour, and Dr. Choi even called me afterward to discuss my condition. I truly…
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Choi. The entire process was incredible, and I am truly grateful for the care I received and the results achieved.
Dr. Ferzli is very precise and effective in his practice. He has always been willing to answer my questions. He is very informative and efficient and a surgeon who is available. For any future patients, this program works wonders if you do your part. Karen, Nicole, and Cameela were very…
Dr. A completed my surgery March 2024 and it was a wonderful experience. I read and watched a lot of videos before my procedure and had actually booked an appointment with a clinic in the US. But after I found Dr. A, I knew I wanted him to do my…
Dr Choi is excellent at explaining and helped me with an issue with a previous surgeon. Prevented me from seeking another surgery. I am fine.
