Its almost 4 years ago now that I had RNY Gastric Bypass surgery... and I couldn't be happier.

My starting weight was 300 pounds when I went for surgery, and now I'm a happy, healthy 145 pounds. I've been able to lose and maintain my weight loss. I am a new person!

I see gastric bypass surgery as a TOOL and nothing else. It was a tool that helped me to achieve my goal, but in the end, I had to do all of the hard work. I completely changed my lifestyle, my eating habits...everything. I am grateful for the opportunity to have access to such a tool and to be so healthy now.

I'm considering surgery for my excess skin, but at the end of the day, I am happy with my decision, skin or no skin.

And that's a bit about me. I'm back on ObesityHelp to share my 'wisdom' and my experiences to hopefully help someone else.
