My Story:

I had the Gastric Bypass September 8, 2009 and although I was not nervous at all to have the surgery (before), I did run into the feelings that I had made a mistake just after the surgery - due to the soreness and dry heaves and the dissapointment in myself that it had to come to a GBP. But once the weight started dropping off (weight 322lbs at time of surgery) I was happy that I had it done. Now that I am a year out of surgery I actually have forgotten about it. I feel normal and healthy. I know that possible gallbladder surgery and skin removal is in my future but now I'm down to 187 and never felt better! Can't remember when the last time was that i was under 200lbs - maybe 25 years ago. I'm also more active than I ever was in my life - playing tennis, jogging and brisk walks helped take off the weight so far but i'm stuck at 187 and now have to step up my exercise. Skiing this Winter?? Probably! Now that I can actually get up out of the snow! :-)
