I did'nt become overweight until I was 19 years old. I was actually severly anemic and quite underweight until then. Then, some damn doctor cured me!!! When I reached 140 pounds, I became very concerned and went to a doctor who gave me some little yellow diet pills. I lost the extra weight and thought I was cured! But, as we all know...that was not the case. I started gaining again and kept going until I reached 357 pounds!!! I was miserable and truly wanted to die!
I researched RNY surgery for at least 2 years before deciding to go for it. I had my surgery on Feb. 8, 2005 at the Barix Clinic with Dr. Marymor. I breezed right through the surgery with no problems! The weight seemed to just melt off me after that and for the first time in years...I was truly happy and felt really good about myself.
Now, 2 years later I'm over 100 pounds smaller but still have a lot to go. I've been struggling lately and decided to go back on shakes for a few weeks and regroup!!! I'm excited about starting anew and watching the weight drop off me again. After having two knee replacements and a hernia repair surgery in one year, I'm able to start getting in some exercise. So, I think I'll be on my way again!
I'll keep you all posted!
