Kjnelson has a new goal: Have a revision surgery done and hopefully be around 200 lbs. 4 years ago
At this point I have to cross my fingers my insurance will approve this. I have made an appointment with my surgeon for a consult. I am getting a health coach to help me.

Kjnelson wrote Weight regain 4 years ago

So disappointed.  I have gained back 40 pounds.  How? Why?  I am making bad choices.  Grazing.  My stomach can hold more again.  Biggest reason I believe is a medicine called dexamethasone.  I need...


Kjnelson wrote Cancer is back. 6 years ago

One of the biggest reasons I did WLS is attacking again. Cancer.  It is one of my biggest motivators to lose weight and be healthy.  It also presents a challenge.  I stress eat. Cancer is a huge st...

I have a vacation coming up in July to see my family. They have not seen my weight loss and I really want to surprise them.

Kjnelson has achieved her goal: Lose 15 6 years ago

VSG went well. Two nights in the hospital. Trying to get enough fluids in by taking tiny sips is hard.

Kjnelson wrote Very disappointed 6 years, 7 months ago

today was supposed to be the big day. I had to postpone it for about 8 weeks. The only other person in the office had a medical issue arise and she needed surgery. Not her fault, I know but I am st...


Kjnelson wrote It's official! 6 years, 8 months ago

My insurance approved the surgery. I felt they would but until they put it in writing I was a bit scared of it not happening.  I am so excited!  Such a big change in my life but I really want to do...


Kjnelson wrote Submitted to insurance. 6 years, 8 months ago

everything is finally submitted to insurance. The doctor's office seems confident but I still get anxious. This is such an important thing. 


Kjnelson wrote Getting excited and scared 6 years, 8 months ago
