Hello! My name is Tamie and I live in Eau Claire, WI. I am almost 56 years old and am a retired home school and substitute teacher. Ten years ago, I had a Sleeve Gastrectomy and lost 90 pounds! I felt great, but was unable to reach my weight loss goal of 135 pounds. Unfortunately, during the past 5-6 years, I have gained back 40 of the 90 pounds that I had lost. So, now I need to lose 85 pounds to reach my goal! Fortunately, I have been approved for a second bariatric surgery and am considering getting the Gastric Bypass (Royx-En-Y.) Since I did lose 90 pounds before with the Sleeve, I am considering this as well. I am looking forward to participating in this group, as I didn't have this type of support 10 years ago when I had my initial surgery!
