My name's Cheyenne, I am 22 and I had gastric bypass surgery on September 2nd of last year and it was the best thing to ever happen to me.
As a child, I struggled with anxiety, depression and stress as well as surfing from all from all three eating disorders and schizophrenia.
By the age of 20, I was 338+ pounds, diabetic, suffered from acid reflux, fibromyalgia, had breathing problems and had a really bad and heavy irregular period.
I knew I had to make a change, I knew that if I didn't do something, I'd die and never get to make my life dreams a reality so, after doing some serious research, I signed up for gastric bypass with Dr.Daniel Cronk of Methodist Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska.
It took a year to get it done with all the medicaid and rejection but, finally, on September 2nd, 2015 at 1:30, I went in as 311 pounds for surgery and so far I have lost 58 pounds and I am set for 125 pounds.
I'd never thought I'd see myself here, I never thought I'd be alive at this point in my life. Its truly amazing.
