thanks to ottawa hospital
everything started a 2 years ago, when you are overweighted and still manage to live your life like everybody else , that's very dangerous.
we all heard overweight people stories, mine is a bit a different i didn't suffer from overweight problem so i didn't consider as a problem , my parents will tell me to lose weight , but I didn't want to because it wasn't a problem for me
lucky like I am , I never had diabetes , high blood pressure , heart disease , cholesterol, anything that will push me to loose weight
Socially speaking my friend and family, accepted the way I was,
In the last 7 years I manage to gain 120 pounds then that's when the problem started emerging,
first of all I started being out of breath, my back was hurting , I develloped sleep apnea, everytime that's I was going to sleep I was afraid to die
I started some diet , that didn't work then my family doctor referred me to the weight loss clinic in ottawa
when I started the program I couldn't wait to have my RYGB done and it was like time stopped
because I couldn't wait to lose weight , also I wanted do it first and recommend my dad to do it
unfortunately he passed away last year in october of stroke (CVA) , that"s became one the reason why I wanted to do it so bad , to show him everytime that he told me to lose weight and I didn't listen to him, I am sorry I should have done it long time ago .
most of the people, will say that it's the easy way out , but i ensure you the year before your surgery ain't easy at all,
today I am 11 weeks post op , starting my 12 weeks and 81.6 pounds lost , now I know that it's possible and it's working
hoping that by the end of next year i will reach my ideal weight
thank you Dr Yelle , thanks to the ottawa staff member

I hate hearing when ppls say we took the easy road with surgery. If they knew everything we'gd had to go through just to get surgery and then all the work that needs to be done after I think they might change their tune.
We have a tool and have to use it right, congrats on your surgery and your awesome weight loss do far. I'm sure your dad is watching and is proud of all that your doing.
Keep up the good work !
