This morning I even got up and walked around my backyard I have a big backyard I walked around that backyard 10 times I was so tired but I say I'm going to do this every morning because I am going to keep this weight down because yes I have the gastric bypass I really didn't have to eat different I just had to eat less and I still don't eat cakes I don't care when I try I get so sick so it's a lot of things if you do something like that that you will not be able to eat anymore only thing it is is not like being on a diet it's just changing the way you eat take care of yourself love you can do it just saying.

    I had gastric bypass surgery in 2012. I got the sleeve. My motivation was because I found out that I have primary progressive MS, I wanted to be healthy enough to make that fight. Making that decision was really scary but I prayed to God first before I did it. There were some complications but with God on my side I made it through. It's the best decision I've ever made. Sending blessings for your sweet daughter.

    As of August 16 2021 I had Gastric Bypass Surgery to pretty much save my life. I tried to do it on my own because I was determined but different health issues prevented my progress or slowed my progress. After having both knees replaced and foot repair surgery and having to use a cane and walker I said enough is enough. I acknowledged that my way wasn't working after weighing in as high as 301 lbs. and after coming back from Puerto Rico I made the decision to have the surgery and it's the best decision of my life. I've lost 130 lbs and will take off an additional 20 lbs. It is NOTHING to be ashamed of to make the decision to drop the weight and get healthy and always remember you're doing it for yourself to prolong your life span and be there for your child and family. My sister didn't get the chance and she's no longer here so NEVER feel guilty for taking charge of your health! I'm SO proud of you Donice and good luck on your weight loss journey!

    Donna, the weight loss struggle is real and yes people will cut you to the bone on the weight loss surgery but haters will hate. I know because I had weight loss surgery in 2015. It was the best thing in the whole world. It changed my life. Yes, you have to commit to a strict regimen and stay strong because there are a lot of people that had gastric bypass that failed because of food choices. I was so very blessed. I never had not one issue from my bypass and I pray anyone that chooses this procedure gets through it as easy as I did. Congratulations to Donice and I pray she will continue her journey with God and eat properly according to directions. I love you all.

    I had worked in GI for about 7years when I decided to have bariatric surgery December 2006. I lost 136 pounds. I have only gained about 23 pounds since then. It was a life and game changer for me. I have no regrets! Unfortunately, my insurance did not pay for it, but I did have someone to assist with the finances. Today, I can still say that it was well worth it. i had the Roux-en-Y Gastric. I did have a bile obstruction the day after my surgery, but no additional problems after that. I am healthy and loving the new me even today. You are making a GREAT, LIFE SAVING choice!

They don’t know the health part people go through nor do they know the struggle, because it takes the same hard work to keep it off like any other weight loss. I had the sleeve done in 2013. You’re going to do great. I’m cheering you on.

    Medicine is always improving and you’ll do better than I.

When I choose to lose weight I will exercise, but for the most part I do me. I don't take people's opinions personally because it is like owning a donkey.
    If that's what she thinks is the best thing for HER that's HER CHOICE. God bless her on her journey because some people are very annoying and disrespectful.

She already is a beautiful person and if this improves how she feels about herself, she will be more outgoing and happy. At one time I weighed 230 lbs. and I was very withdrawn, finally I took steps to improve my situation and I have kept the weight off for years. If I can do, so can she. I look forward to seeing the new look, God bless her as she takes this step toward better health.

    I applaud you all, and so grateful to you.
    Congrats Toot for wanting, and needing to take this big step in your life.
    I know many of people personally have had this surgery, as well as myself.
    This is not a quick fix people, it’s a life change for those who just can’t lose the weight on their own. It’s not about not eating this or that, or exercise. Most people have a thyroid disease that has a lot to do with it. Your body can only lose so much weight, then it stops…..!
    Anyway, there’s no judgement here sweet girl.
    Do want makes you happy, as well as for your HEALTH!
    Praying for you…..
    Love you all 💜💜💜
    PS. Protein, protein, protein.
    No carbonated drinks, start an exercise program for muscle tone, cut out spicy foods, fried foods, that will just kick you off. Chew, chew, chew your food at least 15 to 20 chews before swallowing.

    My I first introduced this to my family they were totally against it, only because I hadn't did my research on it. So for a year I researched the good, bad, ugly n all the successes.
    I'm so happy I had my surgery.
    The only thing I had is buying new clothes n in 2 or 3 weeks they are to big.
    But lots of thinks to my family n friends cause once they gave me the thumbs up, there was no stopping me.
    So good luck on your journey n look forward to following your journey.

    Donna and Dude#2. I'm considering weight loss surgery myself. People are cruel but I'm praying for her. I've been in this battle for years but by the Grace of God I just pray for those who are very negative. I'm proud of your daughter who is strong enough to share her journey. Keeping her and your family in my prayers 🙏🏾 ❤️

    I am so very proud and happy for Donice. I had my surgery in July of 2016 and it was very successful. If you can try to make sure that your Doctor, the Anesthesiologist and all those that care for you are believers in Jesus Christ. Pray before you go under as I did. I pray that your pain if any will be at a very bare minimum, any that God will guide the surgeon hand and also to guide the Anesthesiologist hand. God best you and your beautiful family. ❤🙏

    Hi Donice, I had Roux en Y surgery in 2005. I am 69 now and my only regret is that I waited so long. So good for you! I have gained a small amount back. How, you may ask? Well you can't eat a lot at one time, but you can eat the wrong things or eat a little here and then a little more later...also, some people experience dumping syndrome when they eat sweets and I didn't have that. Sugar is my weakness. So if you can eliminate it at the beginning and don't go back to it, you will be better off. God bless you and the family on your journey! As you experience so many firsts of things you can do when you are smaller that you couldn't even imagine doing at your highest weight, that will give you the motivation to push on.

You will have ups and downs but find joy in your journey. 1st thing you need to do is erase the word "ONLY" It will diminish you victories big or small you count it all. Sis, I'm here if you need me.

Praying for no complications and that it will be a smooth transition in this rerouting. Thank you Donice for being courageous to share, this is a journey of weight loss that millions of us deal with. I can't wait for the success story and see the end results 🙌

    I am truly happy for her. Her support system is so important. I failed because of arthritis, delayed my process and I didn't have the support. She needs the constant support to daily exercise and changing the way she eats. It is very difficult after the surgery. Keep learning what she needs the support and do it with her. She will be more successful in her process. Congratulations to her. You got this baby.

    DoNice and Donna, I will keep you in my prayers. On September 29, 2003, I had a rouenY gastric bypass at age 45, and it literally saved my life. I had several life-threatening co-morbidities, the least of which were diabetes and hypertension. My medical tests underscored the fact that I was dying a slow death at almost 400 pounds, and I woke up after surgery with a renewed lease on life with my God-given new "tool". I have had my ups and downs, but I thank God that He allowed me to see my then toddler son grow into manhood now at almost 25 years old. Without the surgery, most likely I would not have seen my son turn six years old. I was blessed and so are you!
    I applaud you, DoNice, for taking your health firmly into your hands. All of God's blessings to you. I look forward to witnessing your journey, precious one.❤

    Gastric Bypass is one of the best things that I have ever done. Between losing 33 pounds on my own prior to surgery and the results from my surgery it is the best thing I have ever done and wish I have done it sooner. I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2018 after burying my father and attempted to lose on my own but was approaching 40 and did not want to experience the long term effects.
