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!
