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.
Today marks my three month anniversary. I am down 70 pounds! That was my six month goal! Pretty excited to see that number already. I did need my gallbladder removed last Friday. So far, that has been my only issue.
NSV's? Lots of them! Crossing my legs like a lady, not like a guy. Lol. Being able to wrap a bath towel around my body. And not an extra large one either! My 16 year old who notices nothing, stopping at the door on his way out and saying "whoa, mom. Your legs are skinny!" Buying a size 16 without a W behind it and an xl top. Riding a bike! Walking my dog for an hour and still having energy when I'm done.... I could go on and on! Life is becoming amazing! Thank God for this tool that I have been given. I will NOT waste it!

You are such an inspiration! I am having surgery in 3 weeks and keep thinking "what if this doesn't work for me?" Seeing your weight loss plus all the NSVs that are happening to you makes me think this might be possible for me too! You have worked hard and the payoffs for you are awesome. Congratulations! Keep us updated!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
