Thank you for helping me on this very important issue. I am doing this as my 6th grade Science Fair project to make people aware and show how proud I am of my mom. Thanks, Casey
Sure, I would love to help.
1. What was your weight before you had surgery? 276 pounds
2. How much weight did you lose in 3 months? 6 months? 9 months? 12 months? 18 months? In 3 months I lost 57 pounds
3. What was your weight after surgery?
4. What is your weight loss goal for yourself? 155 pounds
5. Before you had the WLS did you try other Diets to help you lose weight? Yes
6. What kinds of diets did you try? I took Slim Fast, Xenical, and I did a low fat/carb diet. I lost about 57 pounds with the low carb/fat diet. However, after I lost the 57 pounds, I could not lose anymore weight, which is why I pursued the Gastric Bypass surgery.
7. Did you have any health problems before your surgery? If yes, please list. Diabetes and Sleep Apnea.
8. How many pills where you taking a day? Has that changed and how many? I was taking 2, 1000 mg of Glucophage for Diabetes, I was taking 2 pills for water retention, and I was taking hypertension medication (1) to protect my kidneys as a result of the diabetes. So, I guess I was taking about 5 pills a day. Currently, I'm not on any medication. I only take a multivitamin and b12 daily.
9. Are you glad you had the surgery? Very glad.
10. Did the surgery improve your health? Yes, tremendously.
11.Was it hard for you to change your eating habits? Which one is the hardest? Yes, it was hard. The hardest thing is the cravings for bad foods and portions.
12.Now at your stage of WLS is your food measurements at 3 oz, 4 oz or 6oz? I am now 4 months post-op and I can eat about 6 oz on an empty stomach. However, most of the time, I eat about 3-4 oz due to the fact that I do "water loading" between meals.
13. How many calories do you consume a day? I consume about 600 calories, but I am trying to increase my intake to 900 at the doctor's request.
14. Does your new pouch have a nickname? No
15. If you had to do over, would you have the surgery again? Yes, yes, yes.
16. If you have children that were obese, would you let them take the surgery? It would depend on their age and comorbities. Would you tell them the pain you went through? definitely.
