I started out exploring weight lost surgery about 5 years ago. I backed out, I was close to doing gastric bypass surgery, I ended up telling myself that this was not for me and that I would try something else. The psychologist told me that I wasn't ready and I wasn't. I started doing my own diets, loosing weight only to gain 2lbs for every 1lb that I would loose. So I made up in my mind that I would explore once again bariactric surgery and I started getting information from people t hat I knew that had bariactric surgery in general asking questions, looking on different web sites and finally i went to a seminar. I read reread and just kept on reading, I told one of my children that I was going to do it, she said I don't believe you, so I told her you will see. I didn't go through all of those test just too back out again, and I had a serious mind this time around. I was at the point of misery high blood pressure, cholesterol high, family histories of diabeties, heart problems and I started having radom pain out no where. I got to the place that I didnt want to look in the mirror at myself. I would get disappointed in going into stores to buy clothes. So I desided to go on through the process and had the surgery done on Oct 12, 2010.
