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 made it through!! It was a little painful (uncomfortable is probably a better word) for the first hour or so, but after that I was well medicated and happily sleepin :) I've been sleeping most of the day and it's hard to keep my eyes open, but overall I'm so glad I had the courage to do it. If you're just starting the process or only a few days away from surgery, don't fret! The pain was super minimal and everything (the classes, losing the 10 lbs, the waiting and waiting and MORE WAITING) was so incredibly worth it :). Just do it (like Nike)!!!!
Glad things went smooth
I also didn't find it that painful at all.
Pushed my pain button to sleep cause someone was checking on me constantly and couldn't sleep!!
Congrats!!
your on your way now !!!!!
I'm only mentioning this because it's normal and many people have said the same has happened to them. Buyers remorse hit me for a brief moment on day two. That's when I said to myself "What have I done?" But that thankfully went away real quick and I feel amazing and would do it all over again if I had to. So if you feel that way don't fret it'll pass.
Happy recovery to you!
