I am 36 years old and had Gastric bypass surgery on September 23, 2014 and have lost a little of 80 pounds already. My weight goal is 165-170 pounds. So I have roughly around 30-40 pounds left to go.

I always felt like the "inside" me was healthy and at a healthy weight. When I was younger I enjoyed sports, outdoor activities and having a social life outside of work and home. Since the surgery I slowly feel the "old" me breaking through this broken down body I have been living in. I was abused by my father at a young age and learned to hide, keep quiet and that no one could be trusted. Since the surgery I have had to learn to express, out
