She's Lookin' Great!

Yes, she is! One of my dear friends, has gastric bypass surgery several months ago and she has lost 65 pounds so far! I am so very proud of her. We talked about what fun it is to be able to get into smaller size clothes. She has lost enough now that she is having to buy more clothes! WoooHooo!
Gastric bypass is not for everyone and it is certainly not the cure for obesity. However, for some people it is an important piece of the puzzle. If you are considering such a procedure, it is my suggestion that before you make your decision, do some serious soul searching about why you are obese in the first place. Get very real with yourself. Ask yourself and answer the hard questions. Get counseling if necessary.
Be prepared to deal with the emotional issues before you decide about surgery. Then if you decided to proceed with gastric bypass or lap band surgery, don't put it off any longer than you have to. Procrastination only allows your obese condition to do further permanent damage to your body. If your gonna do it, then do it as soon as possible.
