Hello all. My name is Eddie and I’m from Miami, FL. I am going to have gastric bypass on April 12. I have gone through and received all pre-medical clearance as well as psychological clearance. I am both excited as well as nervous.
My journey begin on November 2016. I met with my surgeon and went through all the requirements necessary for surgery. I started dieting using calorie control as well as hiring a personal trainer in April 2017. In five months, I dropped 50 pounds and thought that I could continue without surgery. That was a big mistake. Huge. In the following five months, I gained back the 50 pounds that I dropped plus an additional 40 pounds. I decided no more yo-yoing for me.
I have a very supportive wife that has been with me through every step of the way. I am very fortunate for that.
I look forward to sharing my experiences and thank everybody for sharing their‘s.
