I’m Kim and had my DS in April of 2001. I started at 289 and have stayed pretty healthy until the last 2-3 years. I’m struggling right now and looking for a bit of support and possible research information that might help me in my journey. It’s hard to believe that I am a month away from being 20 years post-op! I’d like to make it another 25 or 30 years, but my recent health has me questioning my long-term plans and wondering if I’ll make it to a retirement age. I’m 49. Over the last year, I’ve lost 50 lbs unexplainably. My providers are clueless and I’ve been told a wide range of excuses now that make me really wonder who granted medical licenses to practice for some... So, I’ll explain more and watch for experiences in the forums as I have time, but thank you for welcoming me and I look forward to seeing your stories!!
Kim
