My Story, oh booy where do I start. I too like most everyone have been overweight (fat) my whole life. I can remeber getting picked on in middle and high school. I am a married 31 year old with a 2 year old son that I just adore. He is the love of my life! Other than my husband. I am 5'8, and weighed in at 270 befor my surgery. This is the same weight I was when I gave birth to my son. I lost some of my baby weigh, but quickly gained it back. I fell like I was out of control! When my mom had RNY surgery in Sept. 2005, I really didnt support her decision and was against this surgery. After seeing how great my mom has done (hence some minor problems) and seeing how great she feels I started to think abotu WLS. My PCP mentioned it in May of 06 and that got me going. He fully supported me and told me I would have such a healthier and active life after WLS. SO I then meet Dr. Saber. The coolest surgeon. He has made me laugh from day one and when I just went back for my 1 week post op check up, he just confirmed that I made the right choice in surgeons. He is so careful and so cautious about everything. I appreciate that so much. I had lap RNY WLS on 12/26/2006. I sailed through the recovery and am only 3 weeks out today and I feel great already. I have had my "moments" but they pass and all is well. My goal is 155 but we will see where I am at after a few months. I am down 20 already so I am on my way! :)
