Here are the reasons we decided to go with the gastric bypass (roux en y)
Current Health problems that can be greatly reduced or completely resolved:
- diabetes (type 2) 80-85% completely resolved
- High blood pressure reduced or resolved
- cholesterol get off meds
- heart risks greatly reduced
- joint pain lessens (more active to participate in family activities)
- sleep apnea usually resolved completely
- depression (on meds for 12 years) may get off these
- longer life expectancy
- quality of life greatly improved
- energy and "want to" increased
The weight loss and improvement in appearance is also a huge incentive, but alone is not enough.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! I am so happy for you Cheryl.
