So why gastric bypass for me? I have many health problems related to my weight. I have metabolic syndrome and my triglyceride levels have been abnormally high since I was a teen. I had gestational diabetes with all three of my pregnancies. The last time I had blood work done my fasting blood sugar was 1 point away from diabetes. I also have GERD pretty bad. The most debilitating thing I have from my weight is degenerative disc disease and facet joint arthritis. I enjoy a active life style and walk every day. I also work out in the gym as much as I can. I am a busy body for sure and rarely relax. I just want my weight to match how I feel inside....that is a young, active mother of three. I've tried every thing to lose the weight myself and after two years of research I really believe gastric bypass will help me tremendously. 4 day left until surgery!
