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.
Wow - seems like I was stuck at 200 for so long! The scale finally stopped at 199 this morning - whew! Started at 253 pre-op (257 if you count hospital weight gain), so 54 pounds lost and 46 more to go to hit goal. I'm 5'9" and not sure what I'll look like at 153! I haven't been that weight since high school - and I'm in my mid-50s!!! Ahhhhhh - feels good - another milestone - now looking forward to one-eighty-land! Thanks for letting me share here - no one else really gets it. :)
And I must say by your profile pic, you look nowhere in your 50's! You look amazing!! :)
When did have your op?

Trudiev - I had RnY on 8/24/11. I can't believe it's already been three months!! Just learned that my blood work all came back fantastic and my diabetes is nearly in remission. My blood pressure was 102/62!! I feel good (da-da-da-da-da-da-da) (ala James Brown). hehe
