Hello everyone. This is my story, I was an obese child of all my life. My first nurtritionist appt was when I was five. My weight defined who I was. Many of my decisions in life were due to my weight. I had my first Gastric by pass in 4/3/2002. I was 29 yrs old and I lost 140 lbs On the date of my surgery I was 337 lbs. My second surgery was 4/24/17. exactly 15 yrs after my first one. I seeked help for my weight about 1yr and a half because I was regaining my weight. I went up to 270 and I was 258 the day of my surgery. Today is my 2 weeks post surgery and I am weighing 241 lbs for a total of 17 lbs thus far. For people that are seeking revision or first time I will share what I think I have learned. First of all you need a good support system and a therapist and a nutritionist or anything that can help. My hardest times with both surgeries have been mentally. I do not feel hungry yet when I see food I want it and therefore I have to talk to myself and move away. I have learned that I need to choose healthy first. Last time I did not join a support system. NOW I HAVE YOU GUYS. Thanks and best wishes to all in this life changing Journey.
