HomeSuccess StoriesWeight Loss Surgery Leaves Heather Padgett Shy…of 135 Pounds gwhqadmin December 3, 2009 Success Stories 4 Comments 4 Responses Lynn B December 4, 2009 Very honest and truthful account Heather, thank you. You’re right, WLS is not easy and will not fix other problems in your life. Congrats on the loss and dealing with the other “issues” that need to be resolved for a healthy, happy life. Joanne Brown December 4, 2009 Heather, what a wonderful story, one of which I can so relate to. I felt your pain of your early days and I feel in your joy of these current days. I also agree with you that people need to research the root of their problem before rushing into any kind of WLS as this is in no way a quick fix. I have no regrets whatsoever and 4 years later I am as healthy and as happy as I have every been. Keep up the good work and by the way, you look amazing. Hugs, Joanne Michelle Williams August 7, 2011 I had gastric bypass surgery on October 1, 2004. I went from 360lbs. to my current weight of 170lbs. without any post op complications…praise God. My only regeret is that I didnt do it earlier. I understand all of the feelings that you are feeling and have experienced over this 7 year journey. Keep up the good work. marla July 14, 2012 i am just one week out from my sleeve surgery and hoping for the good days to start coming i have been very unhappy and upset that i had the surgery done i hope it starts to get better for me soon
