Hi I'm Rickie I'm 36 years old, single, and with no children. I had my Gastric Bypass on Feburary 7th of 2014. I call it my rebirth day. I have had issues with weight almost my entire life. I have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, and while I can't blame everything on that; I believe it is a big contributor to the weight. I also have diabetes,sleep apnea, and thyrhoid issues. Not exactly conducive to weight loss..

In May of 2013 I started working with a company whose insurance covered wls. I started my journey on September 4 of 2013 weighing 354.

Now that I have had the bypass, I am not looking back.

Happy belated re birthday!!

Congrats on your new life and wishing you many blessings. I will be having my rebirthday on the 5th of March!!

Congrats! it is by far the best decision I have ever made for myself! I am already seeing a difference in the way i feel, I am off of three medications! My clothes are already fitting differently, and I feel amazing!

Happy to hear that all is well. Congrats on your success so far!!

Thanks Trever. I just signed up for my first 5k I am so excited! I may have to walk most of this one, but that won't always be the case...

Thanks Rickie for welcoming me to the site. I had my rebirthday on Dec 30th, 2013. I wish you well on your journey. Hopefully, we can keep in touch on each other's progress.
