Having gastric bypass w/ Dr. Rumbaut has been THE BEST thing I have ever done for myself. My only regret is not having done it sooner. When I started this journey I weighed 380 lbs. Now I weigh around 175 lbs. I have my life back. I have more endurance. I can go to the mall and go shopping w/ my teenager & not be run down after about 30 min of walking. I can get out & practice soccer w/ her or go for a bike ride. I can RUN!!!! It's amazing how much better I feel - not just physically but emotionally. I was very withdrawn before surgery. I was always afraid of what people thought of me. I no longer feel that. I'm ready to get out & go & do everything I've been missing out on!
