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.
As of my 'at home' weigh in this am... I am under 300 lbs. It sure is so nice to see that first # change!!
Last summer I weighed about 265, then in the fall when my thyroid tanked, I gained almost 50 pounds in 3 months (Not fun!)... At my first surgeon apt, with all my clothes and shoes on... I weighed in at 322.
Today, at home, in the buff... 298 lbs :) :)
Oh... and only about 8 weeks left till surgery... give or take a bit! (seems soooo close when I put it in weeks!)
