I am 27 years old and am married to a wonderful man. I have battled with my weight since I was 14. I have been on numerous diets and actually forund one that worked....worked meaning that I lost a lot of weight. However, it did not keep me from gaining all that I had lost plus more back. When I got married, I was down to a size 16. Of course, as old wifes tales would tell you, when you are happy you gain weight. I gained 150 pounds in 3 years....that is the weight of a whole adult.....My husband was married to two and a half women! I decided this past January to look into gastric bypass....before then, I wouldn't considerate it because I thought it was cosmetic. But After gaining that much weight in that short of time, my body was in turmoil. My cycle would come on and stay on for two and three weeks and then I wouldn't have one for three months. My huband and I were trying to conceive and nothing could help us because I was over weight. My doctor suggested that I do gastric bypass....now this was confirmation from God because she is so against even diet pills and thinks all you need is exercise. Plus, I had never discussed this with her before and for her to suggest it when I had just started thinking it. Everythign went well and it was approved by my insurance. I had my surgery on Oct 6 and now Dec. 14 I am down 57 pounds and into a size 22 from a 26....and getting slimmer as the days go by.
