I embarked on my new journey in life. After years of struggling with my weight to no success, i decided to have the gastric bypass surgery. It took almost a year and a half to get through all the hoops required by the surgery staff and insurance but on Feb 8th i had the procedure done.

I arrived at 5:30 in the morning for a 7:30 AM surgery, did all the pre-op and then headed into surgery. I woke up in my room sore and groggy. Things were successful I know have a stomach pouch the size of my thumb and 7 inches gone eliminated from my intestines, which will aid in faster absorption and digestion. Today is the 1 week mark, I am slow moving and tired but doing well. I have lost 19 pounds in one week and look forward to watching the pounds melt away.
