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 WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS ANYONE THAT HAD THE SURGERY AROUND AUGUST 13, 2007 THAT WEIGHED AROUND 370- 380 LBS. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS & HOW THING'S HAVE GONE FOR YOU UP TO THIS POINT. I THINK IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW SOMEONE IN THE SAME SITUATION AS MYSELF. I HAD MY SURGERY THEN & WAS 372LBS.THE DAY OF SURGERY. THE LAST TIME I WAS ON THE SCALE I WAS DOWN TO 302LBS. I HAVE LOST A TOTAL OF 70 THAT I KNOW OF & WAS JUST WONDERING HOW OTHER'S HAVE DONE, THAT WERE IN MY SITUATION!!! I HOPE TO HEAR FROM SOMEBODY SOON....

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Congratulations! I haven't had my surgery yet, but when I do I hope to do as well as you have!!
God Bless!

I had my surgery on August 10th. I weighed 237 pounds. I have lost 80 pounds and feel fantastic. I think you are doing awesome. I still get sick sometimes from eating to fast or not chewing well enough. The good news is that I am not overeating. Take Care and good luck.
