in Introduce Yourself
So I am going in for my Gastric Bypass on Wednesday June 20th and I thought that I would look for a support group on this forum, but I was unable to find one, so I am starting one! :tongue:

I am wondering if there are any other recent recipients of this surgery or soon to be recipients? I thought that we could use this forum to share our experiences, struggles, and successes. Please respond if you are interested in taking part in sharing this journey with others!:heart:

    I had gastric bypass surgery in December 2011. I have lost about 95 lbs since then. I lost 100 lbs before surgery. For a grand total of 195 lbs lost to date. I walk 45 minutes a day at least. I still am not able to eat much. I think I am doing great! I wish you the best with your surgery...

    I am almost 3 months out from RNY. It has had its challenging moments...but I still its the best decision I ever made. I make better food choices (most of the time) and I exercise regularly. Anyone can feel free to add me. The more support we get the better!

    Wow! What and inspiration you are! I had a hard time loosing much weight before the surgery. I ended up only loosing 27 pounds before. My goal for surgery was 23 pounds. I just had a hard time doing it. I think I did a lot of self sabotage because I would think this is the last time I will be able to eat this or that so I want to enjoy it now while I can. It was stupid! I am just so grateful that I lost the weight I needed to in order to have the surgery.
