I gained and lost weight for years. I had 6 kids then gained a tremendous amount of weight. By 2013 I weighed 398 lbs and had a tremendous amount of pain in my lower abdomen. I went to the doctor and was told I had an extremely low pelvic hernia and that in order to fix it correctly and permanently I needed to lose a very large amount of weight. My doctor got me in for a bariatric consult and I was told I was perfect for the surgery. I had surgery in July of 2013 after being in the program for 3 months. In 20 months I've lost 196 lbs. I still work out and feel great. Just waiting on the skin removal and hernia fix.
