I’m Richard. I’m very overweight, and have been for much of my life. I also have sleep apnea and type 2 diabetes. I’ve decided to have gastric bypass surgery to try and have long-term sustained weight loss and health improvement.
I’m writing this blog to provide an account of the experience, in case anyone else is curious about it or wants to hear what it’s like. I’ll include a health history and status so anyone who wants can compare their status to my own to see how well my experience might compare to theirs.
I’d certainly welcome any questions or comments. If anyone reading is also planning this (or has gone through one of these), I’d be very interested in hearing about your experiences too.
