Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | In addition to some of yours 1. Cross my legs 2. Ride in an amusement park ride with my kids 3. Go to the beach wearing a cute bathing suit without having to cover it with shorts and a t shirt I am sure there are more but that's what is popping in my head. BTW - I have to take a flight out for my job on next Tuesday, I have my own seatbelt extender, I am going to bring it but I am hoping I don't need it. Roz

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I guess my main reason for the WLS was so everyday i didnt live in fear of a heart attack or stroke. BEFORE my surgery, just going up the stairs in my home made me huff and puff and be tired! that was scary!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I second to all of those including the diabetes, High BP, & High cholesterol, sleep apnea, etc. health reasons. But also to not die FAT and be remembered that way to feel good about myself to play with my grandchildren and see them grow up to give my husband what my exhusband had and threw away (can't get younger but can get more sexy and attractive) to quit using so much powder in the creases be able to sit in a booth at a restaurant to be able to get in the boat without being clumsy and scaring my husband & myself to quit visiting the Dr. on an almost weekly basis to buy clothes because I like them, not just because they fit to get rid of 8 huge containers of "maybe I will need these clothes" I could go on forever I think. A new life that I can enjoy is the main reason I want WLS. Mattie |
