About this user

Blogger, public speaker, adjunct professor, interfaith dialogician and certified hypnotherapist Lisa Sargese has had weight loss surgery 3 times. Had my first weight loss surgery at age 23 in 1988 as part of Dr. Lubomyr Kuzmak's experimental control group receiving the first adjustable gastric band in the USA (not called the lap band as it was installed via full abdominal incision). When that sprang a leak I received another gastric band via full incision in 1993. After the port flipped over inside me I decided to just live with it rather than undergo another surgery.......................... My weight reached its highest (400+ pounds) in 2006 as the old gastric band dug painfully into my stomach causing complications that scared off most of the surgeons I approached looking for help. Finally had a revision (by the very competent Dr. Daniel Davis of NYC) from the band to an RNY gastric bypass in 2006. Riding the honeymoon high of rapid weight loss from post-op deprivation and pounding energy drinks to fuel my compulsive exercising, I lost over 140 pounds in under 2 years. Then I hit a plateau and my energy bottomed out. Half the weight came back. My body began to break down. Spent the past 2 years in a wheelchair................... Have been blogging EVERY DAY since the RNY as I recover from a severe binge eating disorder, depression, sleep apnea, diabetes, anemia, adrenal fatigue and crippling arthritis. I'm learning that being gentle on myself, practicing self acceptance, responding to what my body needs and embracing size positivity is difficult but provides enduring wellness.........My recovery has centered around real, whole food, self-care and the Health at Every Size (sm) philosophy..........I believe that Real Recovery can happen when we take the emphasis off of dieting, deprivation and weight loss and instead focus on holism, worthiness and well-being.
