I hope to stay on track. My problem at this time is my body fighting against me. What I mean is that I was working and got injured on my job. I did a settlement and no longer has a job. I have to go in the hospital next week for a knee replacement but I am looking forward to a speedy recovery and reach the goal my Doctor wants me to lose 15 more pounds and keep it off. I started out weighing 240 then became stuck on 210 and stayed in this bracket for years. When my mother died my weight started to climb again and this frighten me so I started to find out about gastric by pass. The weight was very unhealthy for me and I had health issues. My gastric by pass was a success I lost 40 pounds so far with 15 or 20 more pounds to go. I am 58 years old.

Great lets not give up know. Yes I have not been eating the right things also. I am trying to do better my physician told me to download this app on my phone Lose it and it lets me record my food and scan the things I eat which I love. I am going to try and do better. This is the lowest weight I have been in years I have got a little more weight to lose. I have to get a knee replacement next week and I got injured at work and hurt my back and neck. I can not exercise like I want to but I will have to do something to keep moving. I maybe can get back into exercise after the knee replacement.

Hello my name is Diane. I am new to the forum my surgeon suggested it today. I have been dieting it seems like years. I tried exercise and different diets. My highest weight was 240 pounds and I lost down to 210 through dieting and exercise. I just got stuck in this range. My mother died in 2011 and my weight started back up again and this is when I decided to have gastric-by-pass surgery June 2012. I weighed 210 pounds and was afraid of gaining the weight back. I am weighing 170 pounds my Doctor told me I gained this can't be. I still need to lose 15 more pounds! My surgeon was Dr. Tyner located in Burlington NC.
