Happy Friday!!! We didn't get much snow at all or freezing rain yesterday which was a good thing, but it appears we are getting a decent storm Saturday into Sunday and potentially another one next week. Boy February is really trying to make up for us not getting much of…

Happy Hump Day!!! We are all halfway through the week. The little Billy Goat Patches is really starting to be a love with Thistle. They are sleeping together and eating together. Hopefully he brings her into heat and gets the job done which I think he will. He's a little…

Good morning menu peeps. It is surprisingly warm this morning at 40 degrees. I spent two hours last night going through a big storage closet we have in the basement that is full of totes. I've been slowly posting stuff on marketplace and in one of my ads I had…

Good morning menu peeps. What a weekend. We got a lot done and my mom did come home finally on Friday. While I haven't spoken to her yet just because I've been busy, we have texted a few times. She said she feels pretty good and will just have to…

Happy Friday. Nothing new to report on my mom. She's still in the hospital and I'm not sure when she's getting out at this point. My two sisters who were in on a group text with myself and our brother started give my attitude yesterday when I misunderstood a text…

Lil Friday Eve you are here again. This week feels like it is dragging even with all the stuff going on. My mom is supposed to be released today. It appears per the doctor that she had unprovoked VTE or more commonly know as Deep Vein Thrombosis. Apparently it can…

Good Morning. I didn't get a chance to read any responses yesterday so I will do that in a little bit. An update on my mom. She has two blood clots in her right lung, a blood clot in each calf, and her left lower ventricle is pumping at 15%.…

Happy Monday!!! The weekend was pretty good. Took time to go through some horse tack and get it ready for a sale coming up this Sunday. Didn't do all that much else. The truck didn't want to start so we still didn't get the billy goat, but I'm not overly…

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…

?????????? 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…
I was a former patient of Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela. I strongly advise you to do thorough research, I wouldn’t recommend this clinic based on my experience.
I was a sleeve patient of Dr V. I was previously a patient of Mexico Bariatric Center. Dr V contacted me even while I was speaking to Mexico Bariatric Center. I never gave Dr V permission to contact me. Dr V is not the kind of surgeon or company that…
Dr. Baranov is the very best doctor that I have seen. He is incredibly thorough and he truly cares for his patients. Surgery went very smoothly and the staff at the hospital were professional and kind. Every single person I came in contact with was excellent. Dr. B saw me…
