I had my RNY, which stands for Roux-en-y, gastric bypass on May 6, 2013. This came after almost a year of seminars, tests, and psychological evaluations. I am 5' tall and at my highest weight I was 260lbs. I had so much weight on my body that when I went to bed at night, I would stop breathing. My body mass index was 49. I wasn't really "living" my life. I was doing the bare minimum of what I had to do to get through daily life. I was often exhausted and always in pain from somewhere on my body.
My husband was affected by this as well. He had a wife who was insecure, not interested in sex, and felt horribly about herself. We had been married 12 years and due to PCOS had been unable to concieve a child.
I am now 8 months out from surgery. I have lost 103 lbs and I have lost most of my medical problems. My life has improved. I am more active in my job. My life has changed for the better in more ways than I can even list on this blog post.
