My Gastric Bypass journey in pictures.

A few years ago a friend of mine had Lap Band surgery.  It got me to thinking about my own weight and health.  By 2013 I was almost 300 pounds and had many health problems including Type 2 Diabetes, Sleep Apnea, and much more.  Not to mention how horrible I felt all the time.  I was always tired, never felt good, there were even many, many mornings I woke up and would throw up.  I was just MISERABLE!!

 

So in the first part of 2014 I started a new journey in my life.  I made the decision to have Gastric Bypass surgery.  There was a LOT of paperwork and doctors to deal with, but it has all been worth it!!

 

The Bariatric doctors office weighed me in August of 2014 and I was a whopping 291.5 lbs with a BMI of 48.5.  In the past I had tried so much to lose the weight and nothing and I mean NOTHING worked for me.  I was sickened by my own body.

 

I had my surgery November 5, 2014 and immediately started seeing results.  Two weeks exactly from my surgery my doctor told me that my diabetes was GONE!  They said it was like I never even had diabetes.  That alone has made the whole process worth it!  I have since been taken off four different medications, two of which were for high blood pressure.

 

I am now just over 100 pounds lighter and I feel so much better.  I find myself doing things I wouldn't do before.  I no longer parking lot "stalk", I don't look for the closest space.  When I see a space I take it.  I don't mind walking the few extra steps.  I now feel like doing things, I don't feel sick and tired.  I am working out.  I just feel better about myself all around.  Most people have noticed a change in my self-esteem.
