Hello everyone, I've been contemplating for the last three or four months whether or not I wanted to actually post a profile. I enjoyed veiwing everyone else's profile and reading their stories, I've decided to share mines as well. My weight problem actually began a few years after I graduated high school and it has only gotten worse since then. I was always an average weight person but when the pounds started to come boy did they come. Anyway to make a long story short I ballooned to over 300 pounds. After I had my daughter in 2005 I knew that I had to do something. I researched weight loss surgery for a while and after seeing it's positive outcome on so many other people, I decided that it was the way to go for me. So anyway on October 1, 2007 I had Lap RNY and it had been a rocky journey since then. Anyone that is considering or is about to have the surgery let me tell you, PLEASE FOLLOW ALL POST SURGERY INSTRUCTIONS!!!! I don't regret having my surgery but I had a little bit of complication because I was not taking my vitamins or drinking enough. I complained that the vitamins were nasty and too big and made me sick and I drank my liquids but not enough. This made me dehydrated and I could not keep anything down of course I had to go back into the hospital for a week. Other than this, I am very happy with my surgery and the effects that I now see that it will bring. I just want to wish everyone good luck on their journey.....
