Well here I go, at first really got intrested in gastric bypass about 2 years ago. However at the time my doctor who I love dearly refused to sign me away he would not even refer me to a gastric doctor  at that time I was around 280lbs. but he figured being that my height was 5'11 if I was to have the surgey i would lose way too much weight!!(go figure). However he did refer me to a doctor who does breast augmentation becasue I was having alot of back problems.Well needless to say the moment she came into the room  we really did not even discuss anything about my breast, which was the reaon for my visit, we spent the whole time talking about how much I  weighed, and all the health problems I could eventually have. is.She was more worried about that then a little back pain I was currently suffering from.I told her NO NO my docotor said I will not meet the criteria for weight loss surgey and she told me to find another doctor!! So I went home sat on the thought  of surgey for about 6 months and steadliy my weight incresed slowely! I needed  yet I was still BIG &BEAUTIFUL,I never had an issue with dating, I was ALWAYS  one of the popular girls all through out high school, I have plenty of friends but deep down still was not happy fully with myself and finally after researching and gathering all the necessary paper work, everything from brouchures, to articles, to web links, fact sheets,recent studys everything I could print out on my computer and I armed myself and marched right in my doctor's office . By then my weight had ballooned to a unhealthy 340lbs. and that day i knew something had to change. Needless to say he agreed and was all for it this time around maybe it was the way I was all  full of knowledge when he walked into the room or maybe he realized at this weight it was just pure unhealthy. whatever got him to see things my way, I'am happy and that was 6 motnhs ago and here I'am now 21 days and counting to new me begans!!!
