Do you know of any ByPass forums?

I just read a post by a member that talked about some problems other people have had with the Lap Band surgery. It got me to wondering if there were any Gastric ByPass forums/blogs/websites where I/we can read about other people's experiences before and after that surgery. Granted everybody can have a different experience, but just the same it would be good to read about 'the good, the bad and the ugly' before my surgery on 1/16/12.

Thanks everyone, Happy New Year :drinker:

Hello Risskie,

I found a few Gastric Bypass forums and related information, and here are the links. Many people that have WLS later regret it when they discover how many long term complications they have to deal with, so it's good you are finding out now while there is still time to change your mind.

Thanks, I just read the second one, with all it's other articles that are attached. This is just what I wanted and a very good read for all those considering bypass surgery.
