Hi! My name is Karen. My story of obese started when I was younger. I've struggled with the fat issue all my life.  Then after several years of researching gastric bypass, I finally made the decision to take back control over my life and my health.  I was first going to do the lap band and Dr. Rowitz told me that as large as I was (387lbs.) that I may not get the results I wanted from the lap band. Therefore by his advise I followed through with the gastric bypass. I'm so thankful I did. After almost 5 months out of surgery I now wiegh 255lbs. Still a long way to go but not as much as when I started. WOW do I feel better. I can do things I havent done in years like actually cross my legs. Its the small things that mean so much now.
