Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Female

My weight has been between 148 and 150lbs for about 6months now, and before that, i was was about 10lbs higher for 6 months. My surgery weight was 315 and my highest was 348. I run 4-5 days per week for a total of 20-30 miles per week and have completed 4 half marathons in the last year and a half. My life has changed so completely and I am very grateful to you for the life you gave me a chance at. It took losing all this weight to realize exactly what you meant when you said that if you don't change your lifestyle that I could gain weight back. My life is officially completely different than it was before. Losing weight has certainly not fixed all my problems, but I am so amazed at the things it has fixed. Thank you so much for what you do. And for your honesty. I didn't need a surgeon who would sugar coat things, or make me feel "warm and fuzzy", I needed someone who be honest with me (without making me feel inferior) and I appreciate your honesty more than I can adequately express in words.
