Hi! My name is Kellie. I am 39 years old and have been overweight since about the age of six. In October of 2005 i went to the doctor for my anual check up and the regular scale could not weigh me, i was at my highest weight at 375. I made the descision right then that i had to do something. I was/am fortunate enough not to have problems with high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. I did/do have sleep apnea, knee problems and of course problems fitting places. I began the process in January of 2006 and finally had my Roux N Y Gastric Bypass on October 31, 2006, after having my Gall Bladder out 6 days prior to that. I came through both surgerys with very little pain, and not many problems. I am in the middle of February 2007 and i am 3 lbs away from losing 100 so far. I lost 55 of that prior to my surgery and 42 since my surgery. This is something that is so unbeliveable to me. I look at pictures of myself now and still cant believe that its me. If anyone were to ever ask me would i do it all over again if given the chance..................ABSOLUTELY!!!!
