Weight DOS 335, highest was 375. Today I am 217 down 118 since my surgery 12/03/13. Lost all my health issues...no more type 2 diabetes, no more obstructive sleep apnea...I added years to my life by making the greatest decision of my life!

Thank you all! I'm out of the hospital and on my way home pain is way more tolerable today then the other day ! Feeling pretty good and positive today

Yikes!!!! Surgery day is monday and i have to lose 5lbs. Hopefully i make my goal and hopefully my doc dont put me back on the bench

Everyone will do just fine! I am almost 3 weeks out and love the habits that I am forming now. It's wonderful not to rely on food and have your day revolve around it. It is a life changer but each and everyone of you can do this. It's not easy and I can tell you that first hand. But it's worth it. Just sip, sip, sip and walk. Walking helped me so much. And gas will get stuck and the more you move the easier it will come out. And please stick to your surgeons post op diet and don't advanced without their permission. This is crucial to healing. Don't be like me and try to brave it. You'll end up miserable and throwing up. That is so unpleasant and hurts. Good luck to all upcoming surgeries and healing prayers sent to the ones on the losers bench already!!

I'm 26 years old from NYC. My obesity problems began in my teen years and now I'm at my worst. I'm 5'4 and weight 253 pounds. I'm tire of looking at my self and feeling disgusted by what I see. I don't let my husband see me. On Aug of 2012 my mom told me about her friend who got the gastric bypass at ST. Lukes hospital so I decided to make an appointment. On Sep 12 I went for my first visit and seminar. On Oct 17 went for my second visit and submitted all paper work and was scheduled for surgery Dec 2. On Nov 4 all paper work was submitted to insurance and on Nov 6 my surgery was approved. Im so excited and happy this is the best Christmas present.
