I had been overweight most of my life. I decided to finally have the roux en y surgery 8/28/01. I was 347lbs the day of my surgery. It is now 6 years later 8/29/07 and I weigh around 155lbs. I am 5'10 and 155lbs is a great weight for me. I am very happy. I do still have times where I feel fat but it is more mental than anything. It has been a rough journey and sometimes I do regret it, but normally I have no regrets. The surgery has given me a whole new life. I am now in my last semester at college and know that I would of never had the courage to have went to college and overcome a lot of my embarassment I felt being so overweight. I had let my weight hold me back from a lot of things in my life, and I am now trying to get my life on track. I am 26 years old, I'm still not married, sometimes it is hard for me to find someone who I feel loves me for me because before people treated me so mean and rude when I was overweight.
