Hello good people!
I am glad to be on this forum. I had a gastric bypass in 2001, Started at 299lbs I lost about 119lbs maintained it for all these years but i have noticed that within the past 5 years, my have been on and off, right now I weight 220lbs . the reason why i must undergo this surgery is that I recently developed arthritis and foot pain. I have seen 3 podiatrist who could not really help but gave injections which was extemely painful and did not help. I have tried saxenda injection to help shed some weight, made me so sick, Optavia , lost weight, was super expensive but gained weight back after i stopped. On top of that, it was very challenging considering that I had to still cook for my family. Depression is now the order of the day and i really remember what it was like after , i lost all that weight. weight loss is my only option at this. I know that this is not the easy way out. I am willing to put in the work again and i am happy to be here. I also booked my consulation with a bariatic surgeon on Dec 8th.
