Hi Joanie,
My gastric bypass was not as successful as I'd hoped it would be. I reached a plateau and just stopped losing weight. This lasted for over a year, then I slowly started gaining weight back. It's not much, but it's enough to scare me into going back to my surgeon for help. I have an appointment with him next week, and we will explore other options for weight loss. I MUST do something to lose this weight or it will kill me
.
I have no pets. Had 2 cats but both had to be put to sleep due to health issues.

I have a married daughter who lives 250 miles from me and I don't get to see her too often. Neither of us has much money for travel. I'm on disability and the check is not very much. I have a domestic partner who works 4 days a week. We have been together 9 years.

I go to church and love the Lord. Do you attend church? My church in an interdenominational one. We welcome all people.

What's your life  like? .

Take care.
