- My story...... I have been over weight since I was 6 years old. I have dieted since I was 11 years old. I dieted myself to 400 plus pounds. By now if I was still 400 pounds I would probably be in a wheel chair. As a last resort after trying every diet imaginable and failing at all of them, I had gastric bypass March 2001. Some people think this is a magic surgery, you lose the weight and it never comes back. That is a false statement. It is a tool that I use to help me feel full. Before I had the surgery I never felt full. I had to learn the difference in head hunger and stomach hunger. I also learned that DIETS DO NOT WORK!!!! I have made a lifestyle change, by creating healthy eating and exercise habits. I am over 17 years out from gastric bypass. LIFE IS SO GOOD IN THIS BODY!!!!!!! I can do things I could not do in my 20's. I have a list of things I want to do before I die. Whitewater rafting was one and it was awesome......I feel like a kid....I feel like there is nothing physically I can't do in this body......THAT IS AMAZING!!! Much Love, Ginger
