Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
I am REALLY done with my tests. Date for surgery is April 19th. I just pray my new granddaughter is born a few weeks before that. Her due date started at the 8th and they moved it to the 18th. I will be in the delivery room, so I am praying she will be here the beginning of April. They live with me and I am going to need help and so will my daughter. It will work. I am really getting pumped for this. I have lost 7 lbs. Have to lose 13. If I don't I don't know what they will do. Has anyone had it cancelled because of not losing?
Can you tell me what I should have on hand when I get home for the first week or so? Thanks so much for all your help.

how exciting with the baby.......that is going to be hard not to be able to hold her......but so worth it!
The most valuable thing after surgery was a recliner......I bought one on craigslist for 200$ and slept in it for 3 weeks and then resold it for the same price...........BEST THING I HAD........in the hospital the only thing I really used was my warm soft cushy robe and my comfy pjs to get home in...
good luck and congrats!!
I would definitely try my best to do what my doctor has asked you to do. Mine didn't give me a set amount but was very pleased to see a lose when I came in for my surgery.
My most valued things after my surgery were very comfy pajamas, sf popsicles, sf jello, no sugar added carnation instant breakfast (my nut. had me drink these three times a week while on the liquid diet), my laptop computer so I could be on daily strength.:)
