Hi Everyone , My name is Diana and I decided to make the most important change in my life by having RNY. I had my surgery on JUNE 11TH 2009 and I have to admitt it was the best thing I have ever done.
For my whole life I have been overweight and at my highest I was 255 lbs and was so sick of being that fat girl , so I went to my family doctor and it was he that suggested I try Gastric Bypass and I jumped at the chance ( not before some research)
Well the paperwork went out in April of 2009 and low and behold I got my approval in May and had my surgery in June !!!! I couldn't be happier that I did this because it has not only started changing me on the outside , but my insides are catching up.
I'm happy with who I'm for the first time in over 20 years.
WLS isn't a quick fix but it sure gives you the kick in the butt you needed to make this work !
To date I have lost almost 60 lbs ( but sadly I hit a stall this past 2 weeks ) I'm not discouraged I will keep on fighting this battle and be the person on the outside that I know has been buried on the inside all these years.
I take my life one day at a time and that's all anyone can ask !!
My start weight was 250-255 lbs and as of today I'm 191 lbs
I will update as soon as my stall moves on.
Hugs & good luck to all following this same incredible journey !!!
Diana
