had proceedure 25 yrs ago. Was very ill for a long time but did lose 100+ lbs. Then weight started to come back on. Found out last year it was due to a staple that had popped.

Gastric Bypass surgery is the best thing I could have ever done for my health and physical appearance. I am so happy with my results. I went from 250 lbs to 133. I had my surgery in May of 2005. I am especially proud of the healthy eating habits. You never know what you can do until you really put your mine to it.

I had surgery 4 yrs ago but have only seen Dr after 1st year. Having severe stomach pains at times and I am severely allergic to all milk products.
I am at a loss as to what to eat anymore. Sometimes a couple bites of food makes causes pain which wraps around chest and I break out in a sweat. I moved out of state where I had surgery and then my Dr moved back East so I have no one to see. I did lose 140 lbs but have another 125 to go.

I was told I got pregnant too soon which is why I gained all the weight back, I have to admit though, I did take advantage of the fact that I was eating for two, so that didn't help either.
