As you can see, I have a lot of questions. I have always heard the surgery works and stuff but I have never actually met someone who had it done. Please tell all if you don't mind!
My cousin, had gastric bypass surgery and started out at 330 lbs. She lost down to 170-180 range and stayed there for a while. She even had a tummy tuck and looked fabulous! Then, slowly, her unhealthy relationship with food came back and she began regaining the weight. She was probably up about 70 pounds before addressing the need to pay attention and do something about it. She has now lost the weight again.
Hope you might consider staying tuned into the WL&D community as a way to develop and solidify the long-term behaviors to maintain the weight loss you are experiencing.
Very best wishes on your recovery and continued journey to health and fitness ..
