Wow so I just found this board, yes I'm slow..lol I'm Jovany Neal from Rowlett. I'm new well, almost new to the area, moved here in 2010. I'm a nurse who decided to be a stay at home mom for a while. Would love to make new friends.  I had VSG on October 11,2011. Best decision I've ever made. I have lost 72lbs. total from before WLS & 58 since my consult in Sept. I've always struggled with my weight, having PCOS & HAD diabetes, high blood pressure, still working on my high cholesterol, but hoping my next appt. my numbers will be down.
No regrets, living my life to the fullest & working hard on these next 50lbs.!!

Good luck to everyone!!

Hi Jovany -  Welcome to the TMB !!         We are sooooooo glad you found us..

There will be others that will chime in and welcome you - but I saw this and I wanted to say HI

I had RNY almost 5 yrs ago (will be in OCT)  It was the best decision in my life and I won't regret it -  but 2011 was not nice to me and so I've had a 62 lb regain which I struggle everyday to keep from gaining more........I'm working on getting that off - but due to arthritis in knees, surgery on left knee for meniscus tear (suspect this also in right knee at this point too) - the regain is there...I'm not proud of that.....

My daughter is scheduled for Sleeve surgery on 3-27-12 and I will be butt-kicking myself to help her out so that should help me at home and the eating out factor !!

  • Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose.  Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email.  I'll answer it as soon as possible.  
  • Total Lost:  139 lbs
  • Current Weight:  263  
  • As of 11-10-13 I have had weight gain.  Not happy about that.
  • RNY: 10-16-07 = 338:  Highest weight: 350+  Lowest Weight: 199

Welcome to the TX OH board. I love going to Rowlett to stay with a good friend I met on here. She is a nurse also. It sounds like you have done a good job with the weight loss. Keep it up!

Thank you so much. I love it here :) I've been trying my hardest & using my tool. I've had a few stalls here & there, but they are just hurdles to get over.

Good luck to you also!!
