Feast Without Fear: It’s the season of eatings, greetings, and meetings. The season for all the fun festivities, family, friends, and of course food. Kicking off with Thanksgiving. I can almost hear you moan as you say to me, “How do I survive Thanksgiving without weight regain? What do I eat without kicking in my ...
Ah Friday you grace us all with your presence. I have a half day today and I'm praying nothing crazy happens. Have to stop at the feed store to grab some critter grain. I plan on sorting through my chickens and thin out the flock. I think we have about…

Is there anyone still here from the 2006-2009 time frame? Those were some great times here, and my current wife wears my old SBK Radio T shirt around the house every now and then. Umm, I'm still getting more action than I likely deserve with a wife and GF at…

I have had trouble with mind games before, am I really hungry? No, just bored, go for a walk instead. But the biggest mind game I'm having trouble with is looking in the mirror. When I look in the mirror I see the 265 pound Lisha. Not the 175 pound…

Welcome to Thursday a day that is going to be rainy and windy, but here in the Northeast we sure do need some rain. I got into work early just to avoid having to drive in the rain. Yesterday started off nice and calm at work and then by 11am…

Good Wednesday morning everyone. Yes, I gave in and got the Thanksgiving pizza with a couple of other people. It was so good even though I only had one piece. It's very filling. I started handing out the $50 holiday GC to employees who will not be here the rest…

Hi everyone! I would like to get slimmer for Summer 2024. I have 5 lbs. to lose, to get lower than a BMI of 30 (advised by my Doctor). I will eat small meals only. I will take my medicine. Who else is trying to get slimmer for the summer?

Hello All: I am one month away from my DS surgery and I am very excited about the changes that are to come. I am also very nervous about how my food habits and relationship with food will change once I have the surgery. Can anyone give me advice on…

Two weeks into my time in Cortona, Italy. My goal was to move away from the tourist mentality to a "what is it like to live here" one, but it has been a continuum shall we say. There is so much to see and do here that the tourist side…

Having a wonderful time in Cortona trying to balance both the "regularly living" and "being a tourist." It is difficult to get away from the tourist mode as there is so much to see and explore. Churches and food seem to dominate! With the mouth issues, I can't take advantage…

On Nov. 21, 2011 my life began...again. I decided to have gastric bypass surgery. That day saved my life & gave me my life back. I started my WLS at 491 pounds. That was the highest weight that I have ever been at in my entire life. I got my…

Today was a day of unexpected surprises. I stepped on the scale, bracing myself for the usual disappointment, only to be met with a shock. Down 10 pounds! I now weigh 340 pounds. While it might seem like a small victory to some, it's a significant milestone for me.…

I didn't realize how long it has been since I posted! Time does get away from me. I've been dealing with the ongoing auto-immune issues. Good news is that the burning tongue is improving, slowly, but improving. The pain has gone and most of the numbness. The taste is improving…

I've been banded for almost 17 years. In the beginning of October, I started having a lot of issues. I saw a surgeon and had a complete unfill. My band slipped. The surgeon reminded me that "no one" gets this surgery anymore. He went on to tell me no one…

I had roux en y gastric bypass in 2014 with Dr Joya and Nathalie helped coordinate it then. I was 20 and the surgery was done so well I was up on my feet straight away. There were no immediate surgical complications, and I lived 10 years with this, at…
Dr. Ferzli is very knowledgeable when explaining the surgical options. He sure knows his stuff and is a confident, seasoned surgeon. He emphasizes that support is key to success and has a great aftercare program. His whole team is very helpful.
I first heard about Dr. Alvarez from a supervisor at my college internship. I've been thinking about getting the gastric sleeve surgery but didn't have any particular surgeons in mind. I took a leap of faith and I'm glad I did. My surgery was this past July. Dr. Alvarez and…
I researched bariatric surgery for months, I went through all the up and downs of deciding wheather or not to even have this surgery because of all the negative aspects that I would hear from other people. Things from regain to complications, but then I found Doctor’s A’s youtube channel…
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…
