Also 5/18... what made you finally decide to go thru with surgery ? Well.....after gaining and losing large amounts for weight yet again, i finally hit my peak weight of 356! I couldn't go up a flight of stairs or walk through a parking lot without getting winded. While i am able to loose weight, every time a go off whatever diet i am on, i ain back the weight, and more. I decided its time to equip myself with the proper tool for sustained weight loss so i am going ahead with the surgery. Me too, but even after my MI/cabg I lost wt (cardiac rehab)... then slowly it creep back on even more... I wt more than both prev pregnancy!!! I knew if I didn't take this bull by horns then another MI would be waiting for me...being a nurse you know "both sides of the coin "... we make the best and worst pt. Lol
