Introduction	Just shy of my 40th birthday, I had gastric bypass surgery. After reaching 410 pounds in July 2006, I've lost over 200 pounds now. I've also lost over 175 inches from all over my body. I've gotten off of about 8 different prescription medications and now take only thyroid meds and vitamins. Life after Gastric Bypass Surgery (commonly referred to as WLS for "weight loss surgery") is different and challenging. It is very definitely a lifestyle change and not just a "diet." I am now living life and not sitting watching it pass me by! I am teaching full-time and enjoying life more now.
