  • Early March 2026

    Life update time! I am 11 days post-surgery! I had a panniculectomy and some other abdominal reconstruction/skin removal on February 20th. I don’t have any really good pics to share publicly yet but will add one below for some reference. The surgeon said things went well and they removed 17…

    Wanted to share the highlights of my weight loss and reconstructive surgery story and to let you all know the surgery is on! In May of 2022 I started working with a weight management doctor and taking Ozempic. 3 months later he switched me to Mounjaro, and I have been…

  • Mid September 2023

    Y’all! Sorry. A lot has been going on this summer! Feels like it’s time for some highlights. I moved! Just from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor of the same building, but still a move. I’m amazed the difference that extra set of stairs makes such a difference when…
