Gastric Bypass Surgery and the Dawning of Hope
3 years ago
Well, I had the surgery and survived with minimal complications. Surgery was 10/30/2006 and I have lost 39 lbs. since then. Since June, I’ve lost 65 lbs. I’m completely amazed and in awe by the process. I’ve followed the rules religiously and I’m so thankful it’s working. I have a lot of weight to lose, but yesterday, for the first time in four years, I feel hopeful about my future – be it health, occupation, adventures or spiritual growth. More than ever. I think maybe I have the power to make changes and really achieve some of the things I so want to do.

I bought a water cooler machine and started drinking lots of water. I’ve lost 20 pounds in 2 months and I plan to keep on going. Yea!
