Weight loss surgery results?

I had gastric bypass surgery in 2006. My before & current picture: www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com the 158 pound weight loss I achieved resolved all my health issues Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea, High Blood Pressure, and a host of other issues, I am off all 8 medications I was on prior to surgery, I have not been to the doctor for anything more than routine check-ups in 5 years. Anyone who has 100 pounds or more to lose will have some excess skin to deal with whether she loses weight with or without surgical assistance. The degree of the skin excess and whether she will want or need plastic surgery will depend on a number of factors (how long she was overweight, condition/elasticity of her skin, etc.) Having weight loss surgery was the best decision I ever made. Weight loss surgery was just one battle in a lifetime war versus obesity, every day I wake up and fight with healthy eating choices, moving my body and the most important in my opinion: working on the head, addressing the why's of why I gained weight. I encourage anyone thinking about weight loss surgery to research, talk to your doctor, attend a bariatric seminar, hit up post-ops about their experience. It's not the right choice for everyone but it was for me and thousands and thousands of others. Best wishes to your sister in her research and her decision to get healthy. I hope you will support her in whatever decision her and her doctors determine is right for her.
