I had my gastric bypass surgery in 2012 when I was 49 years old and I only did it for health reasons, not for looks, because deep down inside (way down inside) I already know I am beautiful. Within the first year I was able to drop 80 pounds. I went through the struggles prior to having my surgery of having 5 surgeries I. 15 months, a divorce, and moving back into my home again and having to ask my son and daughter-in-law to find somewhere else to live so that I could move back into my home with my 3 dogs. So, if someone cannot call that stress, then I don't know what else is.

But enough of my background, I will just say that since my surgery (gastric bypass) I never feel hungry. My stomach doesn't growl, I don't ever get light headed.

I have already been approved for the skin removal surgery, but I have to lose at least 20 pounds in 9 weeks when my next appointment to see the doctor is scheduled for AND I have to quit smoking, which I did on September 14th.

So, with that all being said, I guess I just don't know where else to turn and would really like someone to chat with that could possibly give me some ideas.

Feel free to add me as a friend, I just ask that you add a note with WLS or something in it as I only accept friend requests from other patients.
