Obesity and How Other People Get Rid of It

OBESITY... Some blames it on the appetite... others on depression but medical experts simply described it a metabolic disorder caused by excessive accumulation of fat in the body.

I was in Cebu when I met Yolanda. She lived 2 houses away from mine and each mid afternoon she never fails to hang out at the store situated in front of my house for a small bottle of coke and a pack of crackers. She does it frequently and that's how I came to know her. We became comfortable with each other and started sharing bits and pieces of stories from here and there. But the one that stands out among her stories was her personal experience of successful mini gastric bypass surgery. She used to weigh about 260 pounds and she was lucky she met Tony (her husband) who brought her life back by sending her to Belgium for the said procedure. Of course it requires considerable amount of money too according to her but the satisfaction she get out weighs it all. I'm sure if she were to write this post, she would also recommend the same surgery procedure.

Mini gastric bypass and the lapband surgery are both done through a minimal invasive type of surgery called laparoscopy where a procedure can be done in less than an hour. Its FDA approved with a guaranteed quick recovery and satisfactory result.

Back to Yolanda, I understand what she went through was never easy. I was so inspired by her story and salute her optimism. She'd never stop to believe there's hope till her prayers were finally answered. The last time I saw her she weighs still quite a bit bigger than normal since her system is still on the process of adjusting but with the kind of faith like she has, I believe she can make it all the way through meeting her goal.
