I am 42 year old woman, married for 16 years with two beautiful daughters ages 11 and 14. I have Type II Diabetes, Hypertension, IBS w/chronic constipation, Gerd, Trochanteric Bursitis both hips, Lumbar Radiculopathy, Facet Joint Arthopathy, Lumbar Disc Herniation and Fibramyalgia. I had gestational diabetes since 2002 at the end of my first pregnancy that because of my family history progressed in to diabetes after pregnancy. I am currently taking on a daily basis 9 tabs and 2 insulin injectables, trigger point injections and or Radiofrequency ablations every 8 or 9 months.
I started my weight loss journey in 2013 with the Gastric Sleeve at 300 lbs. I have loss up to 70 lbs with my sleeve but now I have recently within the last year or two began to gain weight. My lowest weigh has been 232 but I have been unable to maintain or loose any additional weight. My health has gotten worst and so I was encourage by my OB/GYN to revisit the option of having a Gastric Bypass.
I would say this upfront I was very hesitant to have another surgery in my lifetime since I have had more than 7 in my lifetime. I will say I have an excellent group of physicians that listen and take care of me and when I spoke to everyone regarding my conversation with my new surgeon they were all on board and have encourage me and help me to make this very important decision. So this year on September 15, 2017 I will be having my Gastric Bypass.
