Hi y'all! I had a gastric sleeve in Mexico almost two years ago. Now I have reached my goal weight, almost. I'm 165 lbs. Should be about 150 lbs, so now I'm planning to lose those extra lbs by getting my lose skin removed. Needless to say, after losing like…

I have had trouble with mind games before, am I really hungry? No, just bored, go for a walk instead. But the biggest mind game I'm having trouble with is looking in the mirror. When I look in the mirror I see the 265 pound Lisha. Not the 175 pound…

Happy Monday. Sorry I'm late to party. I woke up yesterday feeling like absolute crap. My stomach hurt most of the day and it even caused me to dry heave a few times. I have no idea why as I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary. I feel better,…

Good Friday morning everyone. I have a half day at work today, so I have to make sure I get everything done before I leave at noon. Any plans for the weekend? My husband wants to watch the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight tonight on Netflix. I think Mike is just…

It is Friday Eve woohoo so close to the weekend. The mornings have been rather chilly here in CT and going out at 5am to milk a goat kinda sucks in the cold. I told my husband time to breed her and dry her up for the Winter. Since goats…

Finally, the middle of the week. It looks like I'll be taking half days on some Fridays and then still have to figure out when to take 5 more days off after that. I get 6 weeks and one day off each year and even with all the time I've…

Another Monday is in the books. Tuesday what shall you bring to us all. Tacos sound so good today, but I might just stick to the turkey I have since I cooked a turkey breast on Sunday and it gives us a few days' worth of leftovers. Nothing much going…

It is already Tuesday and feels like it was just Friday. I had a great weekend with my family. We went to a Korean resturant and shared a lot of different appetizers and entries. The beef shortrib ragu and the butternut squash risotto was really good. But seeing people is…

Two weeks into my time in Cortona, Italy. My goal was to move away from the tourist mentality to a "what is it like to live here" one, but it has been a continuum shall we say. There is so much to see and do here that the tourist side…

Having a wonderful time in Cortona trying to balance both the "regularly living" and "being a tourist." It is difficult to get away from the tourist mode as there is so much to see and explore. Churches and food seem to dominate! With the mouth issues, I can't take advantage…

I didn't realize how long it has been since I posted! Time does get away from me. I've been dealing with the ongoing auto-immune issues. Good news is that the burning tongue is improving, slowly, but improving. The pain has gone and most of the numbness. The taste is improving…

I've been banded for almost 17 years. In the beginning of October, I started having a lot of issues. I saw a surgeon and had a complete unfill. My band slipped. The surgeon reminded me that "no one" gets this surgery anymore. He went on to tell me no one…

Dr. Ferzli is very knowledgeable when explaining the surgical options. He sure knows his stuff and is a confident, seasoned surgeon. He emphasizes that support is key to success and has a great aftercare program. His whole team is very helpful.
I first heard about Dr. Alvarez from a supervisor at my college internship. I've been thinking about getting the gastric sleeve surgery but didn't have any particular surgeons in mind. I took a leap of faith and I'm glad I did. My surgery was this past July. Dr. Alvarez and…
