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.

I just remembered i forgot... :) Banshee (joy) is my neighbor! She lives 2 hrs away from me.... And drum roll... We have the same surgeon!

So, got me to thinking, how many of us are neighbors?

If you are comfortable with it, tell us where you live...

I live in Springfield Oregon, a suburb of sorts to Eugene, home of the Oregon Ducks :)

Joy and i are working on meeting up!! I believe many of you already have met, and i am envious.

I hope we are still planning on a face to face next (2014) summer as well someplace central to everyone as possible.
