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.
In my profile you'll see that I uploaded two pictures today. One is my new profile pic, and the other is one from last summer that my mom sent me for comparison! Holy cow (no pun intended, lol!), I just never had any idea I was that big!
So any day when I saw I really can't see that I've lost an amazing 94 pounds, all I have to do is pull up this picture and see that I'm a completely new person! When I showed my husband he said, "Why do you think everyone is so amazed when they see you now?"
To any newbies out there...with patience, this will be a dream-come-true for you too!!
(And I'm not finished...may have 30-40 more to go, but even if I never lost another pound I'll be extremely happy!!)

Are you sure your mother sent a picture of you and not a picture of a much older woman? In your new picture you look about 20 years younger and that's no lie.
You look amazing !!!
On the recent picture, my brother commented that I look like a kid now...lol
