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.
Do you have a list of NSV's that you hope to acheive? Or one that you have acheived but never even imagined reaching? A "dream team" of sorts in honor of the ending football season?
Post em here! It may opne up our eyes to what is possible!
Here are a couple of mine!
1. To have less bodyparts rub! Lol!
2. To be able to zip up a pair of size 12 jeans i've had since i was in early 30's. (I'm 52 now)
3. To not stress over being in pain just to walk to catch the bus to school
4. My biggest right now is too feel less out of place at the university i attend. Its hard enough being one of the oldest students on campus, i hate being one of the fattest so very much!
5. To weigh less than my hubby! (Who, bless him, has always made me feel beautiful and sexy! Even when i don't understand how he can)
6. To live long enough to see my grand kids grow up AND enjoy it actively!
I've a zillion more, but will let someone else have a turn!

* I am on older first time mom. At 51, I have an 8 year old son. I want to be able to do anything that he wants to do with me. Ride a bike, go roller skating or roller blading or ice skating, or play baseball, or play on the playground or whatever he wants me to do with him without tiring.
I'm sure that there will be more that comes to me as I continue to move into my new life.
