On December 7, 2005, at the age of 30, I underwent my most life-changing event ever ... I had a Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch with Dr. Marchesini in Curitiba, Brazil. In just over a year I lost more than 150 pounds, went from a size 28-30 to a 4-6, my health problems have basically ceased to exist, and my life has absolutely changed for the better! |

It was thanks to a diary site posted by a woman who called herself "goodnightfatgirl" that I found Dr. Marchesini and realized that my dream of a DS actually could come true... I credit her for being the catalyst to my own success. I'm posting this site in hopes that maybe I can help someone, somehow, travel down the road to the happiness and better health that the DS has afforded me! |
