Began weight gain at age 8, when abuse started. I was a fat teenager, gained bulk of weight in 20’s. Teenage years were most painful with lots of teasing and so self-conscious about weight.
Decided on Roux-en-Y after years of dieting, losing, re-gaining weight. That cycle was so disappointing and endless. Gastric Bypass Surgery was an easy decision after I learned about how successful I could be, the ability to keep weight off, how it is a tool and how happy I would be. I had full confidence in my surgeon and his staff.
Roux-en-Y in 6/10/2008 at age 47, began at 294 lbs, lost 148 lbs, now 146 lbs
