Hey everyone,
I’m a 32 M from NYC, currently 279 lbs at 5’10”. I had gastric bypass in 2016. Before surgery I was around 370 lbs and prediabetic. I got down to a low of 230 lbs and maintained pretty well for a while, but I’ve been stable around 279 for the past four years.
I was recently started on Reta by my primarily care physician. I’m starting at 1 mg/week and, under my doctor’s guidance, planning to increase by 1 mg each month until we find the dosage that works best for me.
I have a strong family history of both diabetes and obesity, so I’m hoping this can be another tool to help me get healthier and stay there. My biggest motivation is my wife, my son, and myself. I want to build healthier habits and have the energy to enjoy life with them for years to come, especially being so young.
Outside of all this, I’m a big golfer and love camping.
I’m here mainly to learn, share experiences, and hear from people who have been on this journey longer than I have. Looking forward to learning from everyone and being part of the community!
