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.
So I have made it through two weeks of medically supervised diet. Now only have five and half months to go. I'm taking it one day at a time and celebrating each victory. Starting to heal from the fall a week ago so I am able to walk more and do more exercise.
The month of May is full of appointments and classes for the surgery and I can't wait to get them started and finished. Things are moving fast and slow at the same time if that's possible.
On the 27th of this month go back to the surgeons office for a monthly pre-surgery appointment to document the diet. Since the surgeon is two hours from us one way the hubby, son and I are going to make a fun weekend of it by visiting the zoo and the aquarium for certain. We will do other things as well but those are the two main ones. Of course spending time in the hotel pool is high on the agenda as well.
I've also started ordering protein samples from the different websites so that after surgery I will have lots of choices so that I can find one that I really like.

Hi, It really is hard this waiting but I'm thinking perhaps we'll find some unexpected benefits... I'm finding most of the time that I find good info on the discussion topics... I'm glad you can go to the pool. I'll tell you the truth I have become so self conscious about going I'd thought I'd wait till I lost some more weight but since I am going to have to wait about 6 months before my WLS I am rethinking that... Just the 25 pounds I've lost have made my movement much less painful and I know I'd benefit from workouts in the pool. Are you finding that you're more hopeful and more willing to be involved in life now that you've made this decision to take control... It really sounds like it and I'm inspired by and for you. Thank You.
