Hello everyone,
My name is Cari. I am a Spanish Teacher in NJ and I live in PA. I am married and have 1 son (5yrs old). I enjoy teaching, crafting (mostly paper crafts), reading, nature walks, and having fun with my husband and son.
I had VSG in November 2011 with Dr. Schuricht at UPenn in Philadelphia. At the time My highest weight had been 376. After the surgery, I lost about 40 lbs and then no more even following all the regimens faithfully. After the 1.5 year mark I gave up and I have regained about half what I lost and my current weight is 356. I am in the process of getting a revision to DS with Dr. Richard Ing in Bryn Mawr (Mainline Health). I have one more weigh in on 02/15 before they submit to the insurance (fingers crossed). My husband is also having surgery with Dr. Ing he is getting RNY on the 12th of February.
I am looking forward to being part of the community and getting to know everyone. I am hoping that this time I will be more successful and I am making sure that I am building a support system to assure that. Dr. Ing's office is already much more supportive and involved in the process than my previous experience and so I am looking forward to having great success with them.
