After trying for years to lose weight I decided to have gastric bypass. This decision was made after I dieted and walked 2 miles a day for a month and saw no change in inches or weight! I was really small when I graduated from high school and slowly put on weight for abt 8 yrs. and then when I had my babies....boom..the weight just kept piling on! I became diabetic and was put on cholesterol medication and knew I had to do something. I am 4 months out and have lost 50 lbs. and feel great! I developed an infection in my new pouch at three weeks out and was septic and had to stay in hospital for 8 days, but after that it has been smooth sailing. Starting to think this was a good decision for me.
