I am a 29 year old mother of 3. I deceided that I wanted to be around to see them grow up and have families of their own. With diebietes and weighing 262 lbs that was not likely to happen. I had tried to lose weight all of my life. I excersized more than anyone I knew and still no weight came off, or I would gane it all back. After 2 years of debating over this surgery And after a month of prayer I chose to have it. Gastric By-pass is a hard way to lose weight. The physical aspect of it is amazing. You shed unwanted weight as fast as you can imagine. But the mental part takes it's toll on you. i craved food I had never craved (due to protien diffeciancy) I wanted to cry when everyone was eating things I loved but i knew that they would make me sick.
