I am looking for friends who have gone through the surgery, who are thinking about going through the surgery or just people who are good motivators and support! Everyone is welcome! The more the merrier! I am hoping to be cleared to work out on the 9th so that will be a New stage for me!

    Hiya!

    Congratulations on your new health and fitness chapter!

    I can’t seem to send you a friend request. I had VSG on 5-30-17. I’m down 84 pounds in 5 months, and 20 pounds from my ultimate goal.

    Feel free to add me!

    I had my gastric bypass the same day! Unfortunately only down 40lbs, I developed a rapid heartbeat after surgery and am taking a beta blocker that has stopped all weight looss since I started it six weeks ago, all my weight loss is pre the drug. My surgeon and gp say it's not the drug, butnothing has changed, so I'm having a barium study on November 27th.My hair is thinnning and falling out. I'm scared to hell I've done something I shouldn't have. Still throwing up, pain after eating, and seriously anxious, depressed...

    I'd like to join the group for support, if you could add me.
