I had reached a top weight of about 611 pounds when I had the Roux-en-Y proceedure done in October 1998. I quickly dropped to 305 pounds, but then had some major life events occur which, combined with some poor nutritional choices, derailed me. I regained half of teh lost weight, climbing back to 450 pounds. I stayed at that weight for over a decade. My health got a little worse and I completed my graduate studies and started to gain, picking up and additional 40 pounds. I knew I HAD to act, and on October 14, 2015 I have the revision done. I am now on a new phase in my life journey.
