HOLIDAY1971’S BEFORE & AFTER
Obesity Help Member: holiday1971
Weight Loss Total: 123lbs
Surgery Type: Roux-en-Y (02/26/08)
Bariatric Surgeon: Amir Moazzez, MD, FACS, FASMBS
At my heaviest, I weighed 281 lbs (according to my scale at home). I was very unhealthy, and really didn’t care about how I looked and what I ate. I had diabetes, and high blood pressure, and they weren’t getting any better. It was the day when I started to lose my eye sight, that I started to consider having gastric bypass surgery, because I had tried for so many years to lose weight by myself, and nothing worked.
After researching centers around the area, I found Dr. Moazzez and his team...and the rest is history! I’m so thankful for having my gastric bypass in April 2008. It’s been seven years since I had my procedure, and I’ve still been able to keep the weight off. Now mind you, it’s a struggle (everyday) to do the right thing and exercise, and eat right, but it can be done.
Take hold of your life, and stop letting food rule you...YOU rule over food!
