On August 3, 2010, I made the decision of taking the step of choosing the surgery type that I wanted to proceed which was Gastric Bypass Surgery. I had a weight in at doctor's office and was weighing in at 246 lbs. but I still gained another 4 lbs. before I started to loose the first 20 lbs. in order for me to have the surgery. On December 30, 2010, my surgery was performed. I am happy to say that by December 30, 2011, my weight was down to 135 lbs. Just like anything, this is only a tool and it is up to you to maintain. Between May 2013 and April 2014, I gained 20 lbs. But I am happy to say that I have lost those 20 lbs plus an additional 10 lbs. On my 5th year anniversary which will be tomorrow, I am hoping that I will still be 125 lbs. So in total, I have lost 125 lbs., I do not recall when I was able to wear a size 2 pants or dress size. I will be posting my picture tomorrow wearing a small size dress which to me that is the biggest accomplishment. This tool has helped me and taught me changes in my life. It is not an easy step or decision to take but I don't regret for one second. I hope that this encourages to take that decision or continue positive with the decision taken.
