My story is not really different from most of you here.I have fought a good fight against obesity and figured now or never.I need help to make it the rest of the way.So on September 25,2007 I will have RNY gastric bypass.
In 2003 I had reached my heighest weight I am still to emabarassed to make that number public.My BMI was 59.So I decided that spring I wanted to live it was two years before my 50th birthday I was in so much pain physically,mentally and spiritually .With all my being by the summer of 2005 I lost 130 lbs.Maintained for a while with healthy eating and lifestyle changes.By spring of 2006 I was slowly gaining with a bicycle accident followed by a tumble down the stairs my exercise program was stifled and eventually gained 42 lbs.so off to a WLS seminar I go which was in April 2007 took me 4 months to get the courage to do this.I was so moved that day by the collective suffering in that room I could barely fight the tears back.So I have prayed, talked to as many people that I know have had the surgery and researched all I can get my hands on.I have a healthy fear of the risks involved and hope to be the one of the lucky ones to escape complications.
