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 have scheduled my gastric bypass surgery for March 20, 2012. I am excited and scared. I have been reading and researching all I can about the surgery and what to expect afterwards. I'm not really looking forward to the 2 week liquid diet I have to do before the surgery but I know I will get through it. I have to do a stress test on March 7th but the surgery coordinator at my surgeon's office said that it will be a snap for me. I hope she is right.
The liquid diet is not fun---but it is do-able! I didn't think I could do it either!
We'll be here when you need us!
