I was always heavy, even as a child. I grew up being instructed to "clean my plate". Somewhere along the line, my body forgot what it felt like to be "full". Therefore, I never was. Even after a big Thanksgiving meal, I was able to turn around and eat it all again. I had success with various diets and programs, but the weight always came back. I took Phen- Fen when it was available, and it did work. I felt control for the first time I could remember. But, then that went away and the weight came back again. After knee surgery twice and the beginnings of what I took to be cardiac problems, I decided gastric bypass was the right way for me to go. I have never regretted it.
