For years my doctors were telling me that I should look into Gastric Bypass. I tried once, but was embarassed and didn't pursue anything. I just kept telling myself that I could lose the weight on my own. But that never happened. Finally in December 2010 I called the Weight Loss Clinic and made an appointment. I was very surprised at how fast the process went and I actually had to delay the surgery about 2 months so I had more vacation time available.
I chose to have Roux en y surgery because of some other pre-existing conditions that I have. It has a larger effect on metabolism, which the doctor stated would be best for me.
So after meeting with a nutritionist, having blood work, EKG, EGD, ultrasound, and more blood work I was set for surgery.
