I have been heavy most of my life. I started gaining weight around 8 years old. I bet I had lost over 1000 pounds in my life. I decided that I had to do something more perminate. I chose gastric bypass. It was the best decision I ever made. At my highest I was 292 and now I stay around 170. I have maintained my weight for 16 months. I had never maintained my weight before surgery. I could never keep the weight off. My weight held me back. I felt like I was skinny on the inside but I was scared to be carefree. That has gotten better. Being over weight really played a role in my depression. I let my weight make me feel depressed. I am never depressed these days. I love to get out of the house and do things now. I have so much energy. I look forward to my new life and adventures.
