Hi my name is Kassandra and this is my journey.

I just got home today from the hospital after getting gastric bypass. I have been struggling with weight for more than 10 years in the 200lb range. I reached my heaviest twice in my 20s and it was the second time that I knew I needed more help then I was getting through other diets and exercise programs. They helped but only a little.

I worked on getting surgery once before but due to insurance issues it never happened but this time....this time it happened and as much as I hurt right now I know it will be worth it all. I started my journey at 285lbs and when I was weighed at the hospital I was at 255lbs. It's amazing how nearly a year had passed before getting where i am now. I know it will be a tough road but now I have a power tool to help me out to get me where I need to be.

Congradulations on your journey!! GREAT THINGS will be coming to you. Welcome. I look forward to following your journey.

Good luck Kass. We have similar stats. I had rny on 5/3 and have lost more weight in 3 weeks then I did for 6 months on the Pre op diet! Determination and commitment is key but wasn't enough before my surgery. With this tool it's all I need.

I am very glad to hear that. I've compared pictures of myself and I see a bigger difference now then a year ago when I was attempting once again to get on the right track
