This is me before my gastric bypass.. I weighed 240 pounds. I now weigh 120 pounds. I had a Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass in April of 2002. It was a 'for my health' decision. I haven't had much trouble from it thus far.. though at the moment I am having some problems with nesidioblastosis with hyperinsulin and hypoglycemia. Essentially, a failure of the pancreas, and we are currently waiting on a date for us to travel to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota and have up to 95% of my pancreas removed. |
