Why?

May 07, 2011

I have had many people ask me why I would do something so extreame as to have surgery, that I should try to diet first!!!!  Ummmm I have been dieting for the last 10 years!  On surgery day I weighed 233 pounds at 5'3" with a BMI almost 42.  I had Hypertension, Prediabetic, High Cholesterol, Joint and back pain, Infertility, Migraines, Depression, Sleep Apnea, PCOS.  All at 33 years old!!!! I watched my mom diet all of my life and yo yo back and forth and then at the age of 52 she had gastric bypass and her life changed for ever!  She will be 4 year Post op on May 14th and is now a size 8 and looks and feels great!!!  Did I do this so I could fit in smaller clothes and look better maybe but more so I did this so I could be healthy!!!! I have a 4 year old little boy that I cant even run in the yard with...... I am going to be able to do that.
