I Had it Done

I am a person who had gastric bypass. I want to just state that it wasn't a tough decision, but it's hard afterwards. The surgery only "works" for about 18 months, then your body adjusts. I am still overweight, but notby much anymore. I wear anything between a 14 and an 18, depending on the cut. I work out 6-8 times a week, and it's still hard. I've lost 240 so far, and have about 60 to go. But there is so much work that goes into this that no one can possibly understand unless you've been there. I could write a book (actually, I am), but please know that this was a health choice, not just vanity.
