CONGRATS Kathleen! You look INCREDIBLE!

I am presently doing what it takes to qualify for a ByPass and am reading as
much information and reviews as I can so that I will be an informed patient.

I too would love to see a few samples of meals one might choose to reach
goal. I realize each person is an individual as are their needs but just
a “rough idea” would be appreciated.

Like many patients, if not most, I want to become healthier. At 65 with
many health problems such as type 2 Diabetes, I want to continue my life
achieving a pretty normal lifestyle and if I look better, that will be a
bonus. I want to witness my 2 grandsons growing up and very much be a
part of their lives. In a “nut shell”, I want my life back and my dear
husband wants his wife back as well!

You are truly an inspiration! Keep realizing that you are important and
it is YOU who makes the most difference in your life and how you live it.

Continued Success!

Kathy,
This is a great story. I know that once you have the surgery it is a live long thing that you have to keep up. I too had a mother that lived on medication for diabetes and had heart failure. I did not want to be like her or her family. I wish I would of had the surgery years ago, but it is never to late. I have my doctor’s appoint on May 2 and I am excited. It is nice to heard from people that have had the surgery so you do not feel like you are in it by yourself. Keep up the good work and thank you for your story and God bless.

Congratulations on your weight loss and getting healthier. I too lost my mom (Dec. 2007) and saw myself walking in her footsteps. She suffered 2 strokes, 3 heart attacks and finally kidney cancer. I am on numerous medications and insulin shots. I have battled my weight for 40 years and decided that it was time to get healthy so that I can see my 9 yr old son grow up.

After a year of research, monitored diet and other requirements I have finally been approved for surgery. Today I got my date — March 18. I look forward to joining you in successful weightloss and a healthier future.

Again, Congratulations and keep up the great work.

Congrats Kathy I just had my surgery Jan 18th so about a month out. Your story is very encouraging. I too would love to see what your daily food plans look like. I think they will start me on hard foods Monday. I sure do hope so.
