Gastric Bypass Surgery - Hamilton, ON

It has been a hard couple of years. In the July of 2011 my family and i had a house fire while we where away camping. Leaving us with the clothes on are backs and the 8 boxes of memories we saved from the ashes of our house . This happened as I found out i was aproved for the surgary .As i begain my journey i did not tell the Doctors preparing me for surgary fearing that they would not do the surgary due to the stress i was under having been told many times that if there are high stress isues your going through that the sucsess rate for wieght loss is not good . So i struggled with it in silience. My house was torn down to the fondation and rebuilt over the year as we lived in what felt like limbo , renting , and seemed to put our lives on hold . My surgary was in July 2012 and moved back into my house in Aug. that year and my life resumed . It has been 10 months since surgary and i have almost got the old me back . I am down 133lbs and still going. For the first time in as long as i can remember i have posted pictures that i am in and want people to see them .For years i have always been the one taken the pictures and now i want to been in them.I never thought this day would come I would highly recommend this surgar;y to anyone that has been struggling with there wieght and as i did get my life back to the way i have alway wanted to live it . Start living the life you decieve.

Thanks for your updates! I'm sorry about your house fire, but at least you're back in now and you can get settled again! It sounds like you're going from strength to strength with your bypass results! Congratulations!

Your before/after photos are awesome!

Congrats Kim I'm inspired. It takes courage to have the surgery. All things is possible through Christ who strengthens us. Philippians 4:13 Hey please come and join the weighdown ministries group on facebook Its teaching how to have self control and being humble and maintaining your weight through obedience and the love of God. God say all foods is clean. We need to eat in moderation. He broke the fish and bread in the bible. And fed 5000 people. That tell us to cut our meals in half. Then they had left overs. This group is God sent. It brings love peace and joy. God bless you. And I'm praying for you.

Congratulations on your weight loss. I am scheduled for my surgery in 2 months. Excited and nervous all at the same time. Keep up the good work and keep us updated.

Hi Kimberly, thanks for your updates.

I think we're all looking forward to seeing your post-op photos! 112lbs is a huge achievement and you should be very proud of yourself.

Lots of people plateu, like you said. Have you spoken to your doctor or dietician? They may be able to give you some advice to help you move forward, especially if you take along your food and exercise notes that you've been keeping!

 

how much did you pay? what procedure did you have? I just want to be clear...thanks.
