At my heaviest in 2001 at 340 pounds, I thought my life was pretty well over. I was miserable, in pain all the time. I went on a short trip to Maryland to pick up an Umbrella Cockatoo I adopted from a rescue and met someone that had receltny had gastric bypass. I started researching about it and went and discussed it with my doctor. It all went very fast after that. I talked first to my doctor in later March and had the surgery in August (Kaiser was very good to me) I had great success through the surgery and active involvement with Overeaters Anonymous. I also was very faithful in my exercise, becoming a lang distance racewalker, hiking, bicycling to wrk, and in general very active. Having some trouble now, in my seventh year since surgery.
Had my WLS in Aug 2001, a panni in December 2001, donated a kidney in june 2006 to a cousin, had knee replacement in Feb 2008.
I have been married for 36 years, second marriage. I have two adult children and four grandchildren, also mostly grown I am a manager in public service and am fairly active in my community.
