This is my story..... I'm a wife and mother of four, two childen and two spoiled weiner dogs. My husband is in the military and we are stationed overseas currently. A few years ago I was told by a doctor that gastric bypass would be in my best interest. Hearing that didn't go down very well, I knew I was over weight but never thought it was that bad. I didn't feel like that was my only choice so I said no and went home. I soon began to change things at home stopped smoking and drinking sodas which was a major thing for me. I managed to loose a few pant sizes. Then a new friend introduced me to weight watchers which I fell in love with I ate better and learned how to cut out extra calories. I lost nearly 50 pounds and kept it off a year. then slowly the weight came back with a vengance. Finally realizing I needed extra help I went back to doctor and joined the process for weightloss surgery, at this time I wasn't sure weither to have gastric bypass or lapband. After my 6 months of shrinks,exercise and diet visits I decided gastric bypass. My surgery was febuary 18,2012. I started out 285 pounds and as of today i'm 150 and boy does it feel good.
