Morning Menu Gang. I'm so over Winter this windchill is not fun at 4am nor is it fun driving and having the wind pull your car all over the place. Day 1 of the BAU audit at work so far has gone well, but I know he hasn't looked at…

Good Morning menu gang. The long weekend was nice. Didn't do all that much, but Friday we did have some nice sirloin steaks, white clam chowder, and a seafood boil that we found at Price Chopper. I decided I didn't want to drive to Smithfield, RI to the seafood place…

Happy Hump Day!!! We are all half-way through the week. My boss asked me to host the 8am call with the other facilities this morning as our OPS Tech was out. That was fun big eye rolls as I just don't like being on camera and this was a TEAMS…

Good Monday morning. Well I'm exhausted we ended up watching the entire Super Bowl and it was a really good game. Loved that the Chiefs lost and in a big way. The Eagles definitely came to win, the Chiefs not sure what happened, but they were horrible. I made stuffed…

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…

So much has changed since I've visited this site! I have a new husband, a granddaughter, and a lot more weight. I'm not happy with my size but I'm incredibly happy with the other parts of my life! I struggle with negative body image and cannot see how my husband…

?????????? 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…
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…
Dr. Ferzli was very professional and caring. I liked how he wasn’t pushy with me when talking about the surgery. He has a great office team. They are all very helpful. The support groups are helpful too!
I was a cash pay patient, so I could choose any surgeon I wanted, anywhere. After researching all my options close to home (Houston, TX area), and going to Mexico and the costs, I reached out to Dr. Alvarez. Brandi, my patient coordinator was and still is so kind and…
