My story sounds just like yours...I've been overweight since high school and after much dieting I decided to take this step. I am 26 years old, married for 3 years and can't wait to look and feel better. I decided to have gastric bypass and had the surgery on 1/23/08. My starting weight was 295 pounds and today I am 4 weeks out and think I have done well. I have lost 23 pounds to date and am on my way. I hope to get down to about 170 pounds by April of next year. I'd love to hear your story and compare experiences so drop me a note!!
UPDATE-as of today (10/16/08) i have lost a total of 102lbs!! I am down to 193lbs and never dreamed i would ever be smaller than my husband!! This surgery has completely changed my life!!
