Hi my name is Melanie and my story sounds alot like others I have read on this website. I wasn't always fat. I started gaining weight after I got married and when I had kids. I have two very beautiful daughters(19yrs & 14yrs old). I have tried every diet known to man even tried hypnosis and had my ears stapled for weight loss(don't laugh I said I have tried everything). I started thinking about WLS about 6years ago and started the process and then I had and accident and broke my hip. This was a terrible time for me it took me approx 6 months to recover. Ever since then my hips and knees hurt badly. So I started the process again. I am proud to say that I had my Gastric Bypass RNY surgery on June 11, 2008. I have already lost 30lbs. I hope to share my experience with all of you. So far I haven't had any complications and I feel okay. Everyday is like one step closer to the new me. It has given me something to look forward to.
