New to the site, Hvae an LVAD

Well hello everyone, the names Larry, I got my HM2 about a year or more ago, I was in bad shape till I got it. I have lost 85 Pounds to this date and I am loving it. I have just worked out like crazy and eat the healthy foods and it works. I am from Saint Louis MO, I hope to talk and meet some other on here thanks.

Hi Larry. I'm new to this site too. Congrats on how well you are doing and on losing all that weight. This has been a struggle for my son who has had the hm2 for a year and a half. They would really like to see him lose some weight before transplant but he has not made much headway. How are you working out and what has been the biggest help to you as far as losing weight. Are you on any beta lockers? I suspect that has an impact on why my son is having a hard time losing. His weight has been staying stable but not dropping.

Thanks for your insight.
