My Story

HI, MY NAME IS TANYA. I AM 20+19 YEARS OLD. I STARTED GAINING WEIGHT AROUND THE AGE OF 18. MY EATING WAS MOSTLY STRESS RELATED. I HAVE BEEN ON MANY DIFFERENT DIETS, NONE SEEM TO WORK. WELL I DID PRETTY GOOD ON WEIGHT WATCHERS. THAT DID NOT LAST. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HYPERTENSION, ASTHMA, THEN ABOUT
A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO I BECAME VERY THIRSTY SO THE DIABETES CLINIC WAS HAVING FREE SCREENINGS ME AND SOME OF MY COWORKERS DECIDED TO GO....WELL WELL WELL MY BLOOD SUGAR WAS 447...TALKING ABOUT A SHOCK AND WAKE UP CALL....I HAD TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. FROM THAT VERY MOMENT I MADE A LIFE CHANGING DECISION...I LOVE SODAS AS MUCH AS I LOVED WATER. I CUT OUT ALL OF THE SODAS, CHANGED THE WAY I ATE AND LOST A WHOPPING 37 ILBS. FEAR HAD COMPLETELY SET IN SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DR CASTRO. I WANT TO BE HERE TO SEE MY DAUGHTER BECOME AN ADULT, GET MARRIED AND HAVE CHILDREN. I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION I NEEDED TO HAVE GASTRIC BYPASS. I KNEW LAP BAND WAS NOT FOR ME BECAUSE YOU CAN CHEAT. SO I MADE THE APPOINTMENT. MY SURGERY WAS DONE 1/10/08...I FEEL GREAT TO DATE I HAVE LOST
A TOTAL OF 54 ILBS WITH THE 37 INCLUDED FROM PRIOR. I HAVE NO REGRETS. I FEEL GREAT....AND LOOKING FORWARD TO A HEALTHY AND LONG LIFE.
