Suddenly Skinny

Lori says her life changed drastically after she underwent gastric bypass surgery. Before the surgery, Lori and her husband of 17 years were living a normal, middle class life with their three children. Lori thought her only problem was eating too much—at her heaviest, she weighed 267 pounds. She says the more she ate, the more depressed she became, until one day Lori made the decision to have gastric bypass surgery. Immediately, Lori began losing weight and in just eight months, she dropped 125 pounds. Even after losing the weight, Lori says she still felt uncomfortable and unhappy.
