16 months ago I started the journey to my gastric bypass. I was 225 lbs and miserable. Today I’m 4 weeks post op and down 30 lbs already. This journey has not been easy. Surgery is not “the easy way out” as some people say. I was severely sick the first 2 weeks. Last night I wore a pair of jeans that I couldn’t even get over my hips 2 months ago.
