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 have to be at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning for my surgery! Have been working on it for 10 months and am excited and nervous. I know the Lord is with me and trust my doctor, but I think nerves are normal. I have learned a LOT on here already and look forward to learning and contributing more after I get home. Wish me luck!
