I have struggled with weight all my life. As a teenager I practically starved myself to keep my weight done not a good thing to do. I got married after High School to my High School Sweetheart and began to have a family. I gained 50 lbs with my first pregnancy and only lost about half that. Three years later I got pregnant again and only gained 30lbs but had never lost the weight from my first pregnancy. ears went by and the weight just slowly kept going up. Three years ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and had to start looking closer at my health. My asthma began to get worse and was also diagnosed with High blood pressure. I wanted to be able to see my grandchildren some day. I decided that it was time to look into my options. I began to talk with my Doctor about options and decided to look into Gastric bypass surgery. I went to see Dr. Jones and she told me that I was a good candidate for the surgery. I began the steps to get everything approved through my insurance. On Oct. 27Th I had my surgery and as of today I have lost 95 lbs. I feel great and I am smaller than I have been since High School. I am off all my medications. My one year is coming up next month and hope to have the last 10 lbs off by then. I hope my story will help someone realize that they can do it and feel better about their self.
