I was told,

I was at a sport and health vitamin store looking for liquid iron. The lady, who was over weight, suggested iron molassis. I told her there was too much sugar in that. She seemed to not understand so I told her I was having Gastric Bypass surgery. After asking me why I chose the surgery and my answer, she replied with, "Everyone I have know who has had the surgery has ended up back with all their pre-surgery weight." I have not told hardly anyone about surgery and have had no negativity so this was a surprise. All I could think to say was, "It took them a long time to regain it." She said that was true. Well, I was upset all day and night and am still thinking about it. I never read or hear from people who have had the surgery 8, 10, 12 years ago. One lady in my church had surgery and gained everything back. I do not know how long ago. I read a post on this site that said she had to do something now and worry about regain later. She felt a pill would be invented within 10 years. I had so much confidence that this would be IT. No more co-morbidies from obesity. No more 300 pounds. I do not want to be normal only to go back in 10 years. LisaMarie Surgery on Oct. 31st
