lisaanewme67 123 Posted April 23, 2015 My main concern is the drastic weight loss that I see from other people. When my Dr. recommended Gastric Bypass as the best option for my medical condition(s) I gasped. He asked my what my concern was and I guess the biggest is how fast losing weight can be. I know everyone is different. I really want to be healthy and rid of my meds. I will do any and everything to achieve this. He told me working out with strength train to build muscle is the answer. I felt foolish being alarmed with becoming thinner again. Its been this way for me since I had my daughter in 2004 and being diagnosed hypothyroid. It weird being used to being over weight. I am READY for this cure and new life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am READY for this cure and new life. my last baby was 27 yrs ago yesterday and I'm now back in pre pregnancy size/weight..i also have hashis..thyroid disease..on med doing really great. I'm 10 months PO and over 100 down..I was sleeved..I was scared or had fear of dropping the weight simply bc it was used to hide. I was afraid of being exposed it was an emotional or safe suit (fat suit) I had emotional baggage from past..therapy got me through I was directed to this surgery for reversal of insulin resistance and pre diabetes and thyroid disease. I am happier then ever! Wish you the best..best desicion Iv ever done for me and my health! ????I also worried about others opinions..I didn't openly discuss bc I wasn't out for approval..now I don't care So much. Iv lost consistently about 2 wk.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
