I am a 43 soon to be 44 year old mother of two married to my best friend. When I turned 30 I got pancreatitis for the first time being sick all the time I gained weight and a lot of it. My highest was 292. Right now I am at 258.5 after losing 13 pounds in the last month. I need to continue losing as fast as I can so I can get he surgery done A Total Pancreatectomy with Auto Islet Cell Transplant. I do have damage to my liver so the doctors that will do the surgery wants me to get either Gastric Bypass or the Sleeve waiting to hear from them and in the mean time I will stick to my 1400 calorie a day and exercise when I am able. My girlfriend of 40 years got me a month free membership at a gym and will start to swim laps now that my body is healed from the liver biopsy
