Hi,
My name is Michelle. I wish I had known this community existed a year ago. That's when I started considering weight loss surgery. I researched so much, I was getting tired of hearing my own voice and the words "gastric bypass surgery" so I'm sure my family felt the same. After 7 months of doctors appointments, I was finally ready for insurance to approve me so I could get the show on the road. My highest weight was 315. I got down to 217 on my own. Went through 2 back surgeries and an enormous amount of MS relapses that had me back up to 270. I lost 20 lbs while being qualified for surgery. Gained 5 lbs back the week before surgery because if I'm being truthful, I ate whatever I wanted that week. I am 3 weeks post op and I'm down 25 lbs. This is 10 times harder than I thought it would be but I'm determined to meet my goal!
