Hello my name is Tammy. I am 31 yrs old and i had my Gastric bypass surgery on feb-7-2011. I had always been over weight for as long as i can remember.When i hit my heaviest weight last year at 380 lbs. i knew i had to do something..i had type2 diebetties ,high blood pressure,depression , acid reflux, Thyroid problems and a leaky bladder . i could not do anything for a long amount of time. I was litteraly dying. so i decided to start my weight loss surgery journey .. I started my liquid protein diet 12/16/2010 at 380lb by 2/7/2011 i was down to 356 lb my liver was still alittle to big but my dr.was able to get the surgery done. i was under for 4 hours. when i woke up from surgery i thought i was dead.. i was in so much pain.. that night i was up walking in the halls of my hospital.. i am in my phase 2 puree  i am hardly never hungry.. when i eat i eat 2 tablespoons of something and im super full! I have lost about 54 pounds total. and i am no longer a diabetic... no more high blood pressure.. and no acid reflux..and goodbye depression.. all i take now is vitamins,and reflux  and thyroid meds. I have been very Blessed.. and i Praise God every day for getting me where i am today!!
