Weight Loss Story: Olivia lost 102 pounds with gastric bypass weight reduction surgery. She went from a size 20 to a size 9. Here is what she shared with us about her weight loss journey:
Hi my name is Olivia and I would like to share my story and pics with you. Back in 2009, I had weight lost surgery and I lost over 100 pounds as a result. I’m so happy I did it. I’m a diva now and enjoying life.
I changed my eating habits from fast food to only cooking healthy food. I am going to the gym at work and drinking lots of protein shakes. Fashion and looking sexy was my motivation.
I was a size 20 in pants and weighed 257 pounds. Now, I’m a size 9 and weight 155 pounds after having gastric bypass surgery. I saw results right away but after a year I was at my ideal size. My advice to other women is do what is right for you never let fear get in your way of a new and healthy happier life
As I think back on my life I’m must say that I am truly blessed. I use to sit in a corner crying at night because I couldn’t stop myself from eating. God gave me the answer. He heard my cry. Today, not only I’m I a fashion diva but I am new inside and out.

I am having weight issues myself. I meet all the requirements for gastric sleeve surgery, but my insurance will not pay. Any suggestions are welcome

I got the gastric sleeve a little over a year ago but had no luck with it so now my doctor wants to do a gastric bypass. I’m a little apprehensive about only because of the extra skin. I’m already curvy and I don’t want to loose that. But at 5’10 and 280lb I need to do something. Can someone tell me if they have extra skin and experience their behinds going flat after gastric bypass?
