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.

Lose Weight, Get Fit, Be Healthy with DailyStrength -- And this huge bowl of cheesy stuff! Indeed ads are needed to "pay the bills." But it would be nice if it wasn't a food ad -- I hear ya, Mike. Watching TV is worse... Anyway, I'm not worried... Dinner is in 45 minutes!

When I first joined, I wrote to DS about this and told them that I thought it was cynical exploitation of a vulnerable population. They wrote back telling me that they have no control over it, that the ads pop from Google. Don't know that I buy that. As a client, I think DS should be able to influence Google's ads. Perhaps if more of you would write to them, they might listen up...
