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.

I have fibromyalgia and had a gastric bypass last week and have done a bit of reading and such on it and found out that healing can take longer cuz of the fibromyalgia and the fibro can get flared by surgery. Anyone else have exerience with this? I'm having a lot of pain in my back right now as a result of fibro pain and it's frustrating me and making me feel alone. I'm sure I'm not, as always. It's just upsetting to have this fibro pain after surgery when the surgery itself, things on the inside and outside as far as incision and drains, are healing really well overall. I want to feel as good on the outside as I'm doing on the inside I guess. I'm doing the best I can and following my doctor's recommendations. Guess that's all I can do.

Try to stay positive. I have chronic pain in my head, neck and back and it can be frustrating. Just keep posting and trying to find people that can help you stay positive. Once you truly start losing, it should somewhat help the Fibro.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
