My Life after Gastric Bypass

I have a lot to celebrate these days. In two years, I have lost 100 pounds and regained my health, thanks to the bariatric surgery I had in October 2006, at Plaza Medical Center. No longer do I suffer from Sleep Apnea or high cholesterol. The persistent joint pain and ailments have been eradicated. Before the procedure, I weighed 247 pounds. Now, at 146 pounds and a size four, I feel better than I ever imagined. I have more energy for life.

At 247 pounds with a history of heart disease in my family, there was certainly cause for concern about my increasing weight. Now, almost two years after my gastric bypass surgery, I am 100 pounds lighter and a better woman. I had no complications after the surgery and I have adopted a new, healthy way to live.

"Yes, I lost a lot of weight. I have maintained my weight loss with consistent exercise and making better food choices. Yes, I still like the good stuff that we all know can attribute to weight gain and medical problems but I also learned a new way to eat."

Committed for Life
