gastric bypass after 9 years
Feb 26, 2012
I haven't written anything for years but today is my 9th anniversiary the site says10 but I think it is 9 since the actual surgery... it was Feb 27,2003.Having Gastric bypass was the best thing I have ever done for myself. My overall health has improved so much as well as my quality of life.
To anyone having the surgery: Always remember that there are no quick fixes. This is a wonderful tool for weight loss but it will always be a battle. You cannot LIVE TO EAT anymore... you have to diet, exercise, and follow the guidelines or you will gain part of your weight back. I lost 140# with my surgery and have keep it off for all these years but if I don't watch it carefully, I can gain weight easily. I refuse to go back to that person I was 9 years ago.
Weight for me will always be a battle!! I am in the medical field and have seen many women that have gained alot of their weight back.
Thank God for modern medicine and the surgery.
