Personal Trainers

Time to get my friends together- I am going to need support! Any day now we get the plan for my upcoming weight loss surgery.. I am ready! 

I am currently looking for a personal trainer - hopefully someone between Cabot and North Little Rock. Part of being successful with weight loss surgery is working with the "window". When you get released to work out- you have six months to make the most of this surgery and weight loss. I need to find my person to help me- I will continue to lose weight after six months but, the most success happens then.

Friends, share your ideas.. 

Weight loss seminar day

I am so thankful my husband is so supportive and loves me. We went to Dr. Fuller’s weight loss seminar- it’s the first step to weight loss surgery.  Have to say- it makes me feel better about myself after going there. I am not the only morbid obese person in Little Rock.  After some reflection from the previous blog.. I realized that all the work the insurance is making me do – is to make sure I am actually mentally prepared for this journey.  I learned a lot about the different types of surgeries. I will be honest I thought the lap band was right for me. But, after the consultation I realized I probably wouldn't be as successful with the band. According to research women who have more than 80 pounds to lose need to not do the band.  If I lost half of my body weight I would be what medical doctors consider healthy. 

 I think the gastric sleeve would be my best option. You can read more about gastric sleeve here. The final decision will be made with Dr. Fuller closer to surgery.
