Revising my bio 12/9/2020

After trying almost every weight loss program under the sun - WW, Atkins, Optifast, among others, including some rather strange stuff lol - I decided late in 2015 to look into Weight Loss Surgery. I started my journey on December 23, 2015 at 260.2 lbs...lost 22 lbs prior to the surgery (thanks to two weeks of a liquid diet just before I had the procedure), and on July 13, 2016 had the Gastric Sleeve. My procedure didn't exactly go according to the textbooks, but all in all, I'm happy so far. I wound up having issues with my reflux after about 2 years, changing meds, increasing them - nothing worked, so in June of 2020 I had a revision to Gastric Bypass - SO glad, because not only have I passed my original goal weight, NO REFLUX!!

as of 2020, I'm 63y/o, Female, have a wonderful husband of the last almost 6 years, 2 beautiful daughters and 2 son-in-laws, the oldest daughter has given us 2 gorgeous grandchildren...the younger daughter now has 2 girls, the youngest of which turned a year old in September <3

I live in the Beautiful Pacific Northwest (Washington State), and am blessed to be a stay at home wife and dog-mom to 4 slightly demented pooches (but since my former stepson and his girlfriend are staying here for a little while, 6 dogs total in the house!).
