Sweetie I had GATRIC BYPASS IN 1999

With any surg it has complications and it is ONLY a tool!  YOU CAN STILL GET FAT ON IT SAY if you eat candy bars and ice cream!

You really need to do some serious soul searching and find out WHY YOU GOT FAT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I am not being meanI am calling it what it is FAT IS FAT.  I was as large as 330 pounds!  In Jan 2009 my weight started tocreep backon when my husband had a blood clot on his heart 207 pounds.  I went back to my doctors and now I am at 178 pounds and on a medically supervised weight loss program.

From that surg I have a serious VITAMEN DEFICENCY  I HAVE TO TAKE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE MONTHLY 2 b12 shots

daily prenatal vitamens  3 rx vitamensIRON,  weekly Vitamen d GEL CAPS, I have a mood stabalizer,  etc.  The operation is not the quick fix,  it is a tool to aid you in your new life change!

I am here for you!

I am about to have surgery for stomach bi-pass and I am very scared but at the same time really want to do this to help me lose weight.  Like almost all overweight people, I have tried to lose weight on my onw without much success.  I know this is a tool to help me.

I know what you're feeling though.  I've heard mixed stories on why to go through with it and why not to but ist seems that the people I have talked to that have had the surgery are very happy they've gone through with it and the people who have not had it are the people who try to warn me.

A couple of people told me they are very happy they went through with it and that they would do it again.

I just sent the last test result into the biatrics doctor yesterday.  I should be set up for my lap-band in the next two weeks.  I am getting a little nervous because a lot of people I see with the by-pass has gained their weight back.  I don't know anyone who has got the lap-band yet.  I am looking forward to hear more about your journey and hear how things are going for you.  Remember you are not alone.

How are you doing sweetie?
