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.
February 12th. I am so excited. I have waited a year to get this surgery and I can't wait to get started on my journey. All of your posts are really helpful for me to do the things I need to to succeed in this process. Thanks and keep posting!

a good robe for the hospital and after
I am just over a week post op and doing much better then I was. But take into consideration liquids in=liquids out hence the baby wipes. Warm fluids go in easier then cold and the hospital food is atrocious. I couldn't eat any of it. Most people I have talked to, have a very difficult time with just water even a few months out. but still sip, sip, sip. and practice now because it isn't any easier no matter when you start, just if you start to practice things before, if you make a mistake, it is less painful or stressful. Best of luck and it will be here before you know it!!! Congrats!
Saving you a seat on the loser's bench!!
