8 Years Later
Jul 19, 2008
Well it's been eight years and I have finally gotten back to my lowest weight since my Gastric Bypass. I had two pregnancies within a year of my surgery and gained 35 pounds with the second one. My child is now five years old and I have finally managed to lose the extra 35 pounds. Now I'm attempting to finish losing the last 30 pounds to hit my goal weight of 125. I am back into a size 12 and very happy about that, but I'd still like to go a little further. It's hard to diet, I kind of wish the lapband had been around 8 years ago. I could just go get it cinched up and bingo, weight loss. Plus then I wouldn't have to deal with the lactose intolerance or the dumping. Oh well, at least I haven't been 269 pounds for the past 8 years. Thanks to Dr. Rumsey in San Diego, he gave me my life back. I'll post again next year.. SJ
