opted for the bypass. My doctor feels this would best help with alleviating my medical problems ( the main reason for my doing this).

Congrats on your amazing success. I hope my goes as well. I started at 314 am now down to 302. My doctor wanted me to lose 10 pounds to show I could change my eating habits, so I guess that worked, lol.

The reason I got the hernia in the first place is when I saw the scale hitting the 300 mark, I was horrified. I decided to start working out at the local high school weight room. I guess I when over board (because I wasn't seeing any results) and the hernia was the result. I am no longer going to the weight room (yet) but I am walking every day. I hope after recovery to be able to go back, and this time, no hernia!
