Gastric bypass surgery has been such a blessing for me. I have struggled all my life with being overweight. My pre surgery weight was 268 pounds . I was having many physical problems. My legs knees and ankles ached all the time. I suffered through depression because I was only 36 and losing my mobility. June 19th 2006 I was granted a new life by a wonderful surgeon Dr. Joseph Colella of Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. I have currently lost 78 pounds. My goal is at least a hundred and I know I will accomplish it. I am currently a full time student at a community college in the health care feild and I am working a part-time job never would I have been able to be on my feet this much pre-surgery. I recommend if you are seriously considering surgery do your homework and research it out so many have been successful but it is not a quick fix it takes dedication and commitment to yourself and living a healthy lifestyle.
