is feeling Excellent
46 yo married, nurse. I started my wt. loss journey on 2/19/1996 when I had a vertical banding gastroplasty. Basically it was a stapling/banding procedure that later was found to cause GERD in approx. 85-95% of VBG pts. In 8/2006 I had a revision to the Roux-en-Y and the GERD and extra weight are finally GONE!! Hightest wt: 308 Current wt: 131 I became a Certified Fitness and Nutrition consultant because I want to help anyone I can, feel better and live longer by "LIVING" a healthier life!
Motorcycle riding with hubby, road trips by car or bike, bicycling, teaching my fitness/nutrition classes, photography, internet surfing. In my nutrition classes, I've begun to teach cooking classes where we take "old favorites" and make them much healthier, yet still full of that flavor and comfort we crave.

Hi All, I'm Alice. I'm a 46yo married nurse. I'm a RNY Pt (8/'04). I have lost 177 Lbs to date. My highest wt. at 5'2" was 308 Lbs. Today I weigh 131 Lbs. My husband also had the RNY in 8/2005 & together we're feeling & living better than we ever have! I became a Cert. Fitness & Nutrition consultant, because I'm so passionate about helping folks understand that looking better is only a bonus when living a healthier life. Feeling better and living longer should always be the goals!
Found out my husband was having an affair for over 3 years. Depression, anxiety and anger were all I knew for weeks, til we started therapy. That was 8/2006 and we're still together, working very hard towards my trusting him again and the marriage we both deserve. I was diagnosed with PTSD after several panic attacks that I never had before.
