Just wanted to say hey I'm new to this! I had Gastric Bypass Surgery the day after christmas it couldn't have happened at a better time...I thought New year...New Me
I was at my biggest weight ever 316 which my goal weight set by them is 143 and at times I think that is too little but hey ya never know? I personally would be content at 160-165 we will see! So far I have lost 80lbs. in a little over 4 months which is remarkable to me as before I'd lose 5-10 lbs. here and there only to gain more back
sad but true the weightloss struggle continued until I made the choice to have surgery. I had many co-workers who had surgery and always told me I should think about it which I did long and hard!!! I also had many who told me lots of negative things to discourage me! The funny part is those are the same ones who tell me now how great I look and are even considering surgery themselves...lol I would recommend surgery to anyone who has BATTLED THE BULGE!!!!! I myself had never had any kind of surgery ever and honestly was scared to death not knowing what to expect
So here I am as an advocate to anyone considering surgery because I myself would do it again tomorrow if I had to! I look forward to chatting with other members as my new journey continues~
