Hey everyone! I am new to OH. Let me tell you some about my journey thus far. Same story -- Since I was a kid, I've been overweight. However, I took control when I was 17 and Lost about 90lbs. with strict calorie counting and exercise. By the time I was 21, all the weight was gained back and then some after yo-yo dieting. Now at 26, it feels like anything I do, I fail with weight loss. I can lose the weight, but it never stays off. I have turned to gastric bypass to break this vicious cycle of yo-yo diets and extreme weight gain. My health has also suffered -I have had HTN for 3 years, I have Polycycstic Ovarian Syndrome, Subclinical hypothyroidism, and fatty liver. I never imagined that I would be in such poor health at a young age, but I plan to take control. I have filed all the paperwork and saved my "copay" (a hefty 3500 dollar one, but worth it) with the Bariatric Center. I go to the seminar 1/25/10. I was told things could happen as early as Feb 28th. All scary, but exciting. I'm ready to get my life back!!!! Any tips or help throughout my journey - Pre and Post-op, please share!!! Thanks!Starting height: 5'7"
Starting weight: 294
