Hello Everyone...My name is Debbie & I'm 36 years old. I'm married to my best friend for 14 years now & we are the parents of 2 very spoiled yorkies.
I haven't always had a weight problem. All through High School I was very active and wore a size 7. After I graduated though... the weight started piling on. I am now at my heavest weight ever, at a very embarassing 329. I, like all of you, have tried anything & everything to lose weight. Never having any luck, or if I did manage to lose some... I would always gain it right back plus some.
Some of my health problems include Asthma, Acid Reflux, High Cholesterol, and I need to have back surgery BAD. I have Degenerative Disc Disease, Degenerative Joint Disease, Degenerated Hyper Mobile SI Joints & Spondylosis. I need to have my L5/S1 disc removed & I need to be fused from L3 to L5. No surgeon will operate on me though... they've all said the same thing, that I'm too heavy & I'll die on the table. How's that for a wake up call?? My doctors suggested that I have Gastric Bypass to get the weight off, so I can eventually have the back surgery. This is where it all started..
A year ago, I started researching RNY Gastric Bypass. This was the hardest decision that I've ever had to make.
