Kristan, I have been watching for yrs wondering how you lost all your weight I have a daughter who has had breast cancer a few yrs ago she is only 37. We were blessed to have a beautiful granddaughter before all this happened. She has had couple more surgeries sense double mastectomy but needs another abdominal surgery to sew abdominal muscles together problem is needs to lose 50 lbs before they can do anything. Watching you over the years you have lost a lot of weight can you tell me how it would be very helpful for her health. Drs around here don’t care anymore about patients. Help is very hard to find. Any insight would be appreciated. The funny part is we are both nurses and know most ins and outs. But can’t get help.
