Those of you who know me personally know I have been wanting to start this blog for some time but I have been struggling with the name. I finally figured it out and Quarter-Life RNY it is.
To explain the name...
Most of you know me personally are not familiar with the weight loss surgery community and the terminology so I will explain the name! I chose quarter-life because I am 24 and I will not only be talking about my gastric bypass journey but will also be using this blog to talk about the struggles of a twenty something trying to find themselves AKA my Quarter-life Crisis. I also hope to help others who are going through the same process as I am or thinking about doing so. Especially those in the Quarter-life years. This leads to the RNY. RNY stands for Roux en-Y. Roux en Y Gastric Bypass surgery is the type of weight loss surgery I am having.
Now for those of you who don't personally know me or maybe some of you that do more about myself...
My name is JaLisa. I am a 24 year old (almost 25!) who is about to have gastric bypass surgery on March 31st 2015. Yikes only 3 days away! I have undergone a long process to get here and I plan to go over the process from the beginning to now. I will be posting over the next couple of days to get up to speed on where I am now.
Some other things I want to cover in my first couple of posts in the next days before surgery are some questions I have been frequently asked such as how do you qualify for the surgery?, How did I get to where I am now, What are my goals for post op, etc.
Anyway I will keep my first post short and sweet! If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will try and include them in my upcoming posts.
Thanks for reading
-JaLisa
