Hi everyone..is there anyone from Northern California? I am trying to find a Bariatric surgeon to approve me for a revision. I had a RnY in 2007. Went from 35 lbs to 145lbs. But last few years have unfortunately gained back to 210lbs. I am deeply saddened and embarrassed. I have tried everything I know but nothing is going in the right direction. I would like any advice on finding a surgeon who would do a revision. Thank you for any help.
 
Hey Susie I had gastric bypass in 2010 and went from 180 at my lowest to 390 now. I’m working on getting back to 290. It’s not easy but you can do this! I’ve been using Arbonne protein shakes and other of their nutritional products and have lost 15 lbs in the last 45 days. I’m trying to exercise more as well and accept my reality that the best I can do is fight every day. Good luck and don’t be afraid to reach out.
 
Hey I’m sharing about something that’s helped me and is a healthy choice for me. I’ve seen several other brand names being mentioned repeatedly, did they all get the same warning? I’ve read the rules and terms before posting anything and I didn’t see any restriction on brand names. I’m here for support and to be supportive, so I will be happy to follow the rules that everyone else does.
 
Not to hijack this thread, but I love our sponsor's products. I even have some on auto-order. That being said, I too shop other brands but am really thankful for every product that helps make this journey easier. Thank you Brent and Diane for sharing.
