Hi everyone! I'm brand new to this whole pep thing, writing from California. A little more than a year has passed since my gastric bypass, and it's gone really well, though I'd still like to shed additional weight. Because my insurance coverage has been problematic, I figured I should look into what choices are out there. On top of that, I'm in graduate school, which I'm aware will bring extra stress, so I want to sort everything out. I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has used reta following bariatric surgery and what their experience was like 🙂

Getting accepted into grad school is huge—congrats! Managing that while keeping your health in mind? Impressive!

Your particular question isn’t something I have experience with, but I’d bet another member can help…this community is huge.

Best of luck to you, and welcome aboard.

I really appreciate that! Even so, I'm doing what I can to keep my health on track 🙂
