I had Gastric Bypass Surgery on March 9th, 2010. My starting weight prior to the pre-surgery was a disgusting 278lbs. I lost 12 lbs from the fasting. Unfortunatley I developed a minor infection post surgery (from antibiotics, actually) and became very sick losing a rapid 8lbs. Once back on track and the infection gone I continued to lose another 14 lbs and it's only been a little over 2 weeks since my surgery. I am finally getting back to normal. I am using the treadmill everyday and I adore yoga on the Wii system. I am so glad I decided to have the surgery and have no regrets. My surgeon and his entire office are the best team I have ever encountered. They are very sincere and helpful. I am so excited to get my energy back and have the stamina to play with my 2 year old daughter. I haven't been fat my whole life, just the last 10-15 years which all started with being on steroids for medical purposes for 5 years. I feel I have been trapped in someone elses body for all those years and can't wait to get back to a normal size. I actually am very healthy on the inside. All my numbers and levels are great. Just the damn chubs.....Looking forward to committing to being as healthy as can be for the rest of my life.
