Lift After Gastric Bypass, Feeling Comfortable in Your Own Skin
Tipping the scale at 330 pounds, 47-year-old Cindy Schreiner decided to get gastric bypass surgery in 2002.
“I was downtown on 9-11,” Schreiner recounted. “And I couldn’t run … I had a colleague pulling me down the street saying, ‘come on, you can run, you can run’ and I just thought, I can’t move anymore and I was so huge.”
It was turning point for Schreiner, who has lost 185 pounds to date.

Hi Its Cindy. Just checking in to see how people are reacting to the video
thats an awesome story Melissa. Thank you for sharing it. Its good to hear about something positive like people trying to improve their health and quality of life. I hope to read more of them soon!
I had my by-pass surgery in 2002, I was 354 pounds now I weigh approx. 135 pds. I did have some complications I got past them and Im doing great this surgery turned my life around, I still have skin issues but no insurance to remedy it. thanks for hearing me, maria from Sacramento.
Wow !!! Great accomplishment Maria!! You know there are other options. Other than insurance I mean. I actually used a 0% credit card for my first one and was able to pay it off with very little interest. I do know that some doctors also have payment options. So there are other ways. I hope you are able to find a way..You have done all of the hard work already!!! This should be your gift to yourself for all of the hard work, so dont give up…
Good luck
Cindy
