Here is my story. I was never really over weight until I got pregnant. First child gained 100pds lost 50. second one gained 50. Got divorced lost weight until I got remarried. Then I got fat and happy. Then got diabeties, high cholesterol,and hypothyroidism. Every year since the weight kept increasing until I woke up miserable and did not want to go and do anything any more. I love to go and shop. I knew things were no longer good for me. I decided I wanted gastric by pass on a Sunday and was done with all tests and appointments by the next Monday. I had approval by the following Monday. I called every day to see if people had canceled to get it done so fast. Only one catch, I had to wait from May until September or it would be pre-existing. I am now almost 5 months out. I have gone from my heaviest 267 and now I am at 193. My goal weight is 125. I am so happy I had surgery. I wish I would have done it years ago.
