Before & After RNY with Aloha254, losing 148 pounds!
December 11, 2018Why I Decided to Have WLS
I began my weight gain at age 8 when the abuse started. I was a fat teenager, gained the bulk of the weight in my 20’s. My teenage years were the hardest with lots of teasing and I was very self-conscious about my weight. My continuing weight struggles were very disappointing and endless. After years of dieting, losing, regaining weight, I made the decision to have the RNY (Gastric Bypass Surgery) bariatric surgery.
Having Gastric Bypass Surgery was an easy decision after I learned about how successful I could be, the ability to keep the weight I'd lose off, what a powerful tool that weight loss surgery is, and how happy I would be.
