hey.

I'm sitting here watching THS Investigates "Weight Loss Fads" and they were talking about gastric bypass surgery. From the research I've done, it seems that a third of someone's weight could be lost within 1-4 years of the surgery. I actually know a woman (the lesbian ex-lover of my ex-wife) who was severely morbidly obese. I estimate she weighed somewhere in the neighborhood of 350 lbs. and after the bypass surgery, she's very thin.

Anyway, my BMI is 40.7, I'll be 35 at the end of Feb., I have an infant daughter and I've tried working out. I just gained weight. Granted, it might have been muscle mass but I got frustrated nonetheless.
