Having gastric by pass surgery has open up a whole new world for me. Tracked weight loss progress with photos.

It took me a year and a half fighting with the insurance company, but it was worth the fight. It has changed my life.

This was a wonderful decision that changed my life.

Aside from actually curing diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc., one of the remarkable results of weight loss surgery is the change in one's physical appearance.

My name is Liz and I am a sixty-one year old woman who is excited about my life and all that is to come in the future. This has not always been the case, as the last sixteen months have brought about many changes. I believe we are all on a journey and our lives reflect the sum of all our many experiences.

Jennifer's weight gain accumulated later in life, after college. By her late 20s, she carried 269 pounds on her 5'4" frame. She rarely exercised and found that over time, even climbing the stairs was difficult. The weight also interfered with her sleep habits, causing sleep apnea. Even worse than these physical limitations, she says, was the treatment she received by total strangers.

I have always been the chubby girl, the sweet spirit. Throughout my life I have tried multiple kinds of weight loss programs. I had my surgery on January 17, 2005. I quickly lost 96 lbs in five months. I suddenly discovered a new person that I decided I liked. She was thinner, she was confident, she was kind and accepting, and she was beautiful. And I was her! Weight is still a battle, but at least now I have a handle on it. I know I can conquer the battle and I will.

I suffered from over half of the co-morbidities related to obesity including; high blood pressure, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, acid reflux and heart disease. The first time I met with Dr. Richards, it was all I could do to get from the parking lot to the doctor's office. If it hadnt been for Dr. Richards and her confidence in her ability to do this, I dont think I would have ever found a surgeon to do it. I now go by the simple motto: I eat to live, instead of living to eat.
