anyone had the gastric bypass weighing above 400 pounds or having it??

I am single as well and severely overweight it's tough at times but luckily I have the full support of my family and I am putting myself out there now to date because if a man doesn't want me at my worse he doesn't deserve me when Im a better version of me! Good luck girl

im having the gastric bypass starting weight 422 so i have yet to find any women at our weight range hopefully someone can offer some insight good luck and congratulations!!

which surgery??? CONGRATS!!!

I have kept my surgical decision to just family and a few friends because I didn't want to have to hear others opinions on my life decisions I mean they aren't paying for it suffering through the pain or working for it we are so who cares!!! I had one uncle explain how much loose skin I would have and maybe I shouldn't have the surgery but I would rather live with loose skin than stay at 421 pounds surgery date hopefully by june

Im not dating but that's just me I want to focus solely on this journey and my health but I also have only shared my hopeful surgery news with a few people so not even my whole family and friends know just because I wanted to avoid the judgement and odd stories and advice given from people who have never been obese a day in their life. good luck in whatever you choose to do

congrats!!!!!!!! Wishing nothing but the best to you on your surgery day!!!! wooooohoooo

It's okay to be scared just remember why your doing this!! You got this!!! Good luck I am hoping ot be scheduled before the end of may

you look beautiful and embrace your problem areas you worked hard to get to this point!! good luck

the ones i have tried were disgusting!!! but after surgery they say your tastes change so Im hoping they will be good then good luck GNC has a buy 2 get one free or buy three get one free on Quest bars one of those kind of deals

wow thats awesome I hope it all goes smoothly my insurance hasn't even been submitted to and they are scheduling me for the 3rd week of may ha

well thanks everyone turns out my personal psychiatrist can write a letter clearing me for surgery so much stress has been lifted from that but still keep me updated with how all your psych evals go!

i personally plan on waiting until after kids! They change your body completely and I would hate to have had all that work done to have my body change on me again but thats just my personal opinion Good luck in whatever you choose and congrats on your weight loss

we are all rooting for you!!! keep us updated congrats on the new soon to be you

Im just curious as to what I should expect and advice would be greatly appreciated

I would love to do something like this! I haven't gotten my surgery date yet it's still about 6-8 weeks away but if your up for a new friend I am too!

I haven't gotten my surgery yet but I would think just start slow and don't strain you r body to the point of exhaustion. Although we may feel like hulk sometimes we just have to take it easy good luck at the gym!!!

it truly is a very personal choice but moving is already a highly stressful thing to do and if you move before surgery thats just putting more stress on your body to me... but if you wait until your moved you can be settled in and less stress than that of surgery and a move. Good Luck

i've had it done before and don't even remember feeling it! Don't worry it will be smooth sailing I hope for you

congrats!!!! that is incredible news thank you Jesus indeed

have you talked to your surgeon or doctor to make sure nothing is wrong physically i would hate to see you become dehydrated or have some kind of blockage of sorts im no medical professional just a worried friend feel better soon

Im 5'9 and my goal with my surgeon is 170 and thats coming from 423.6

I think people ask for advice because there is so much information out there and sometimes you just need extra thoughts and different reasons maybe you havent thought of or considered... which is why we see so many questions like which is better the band, sleeve, or bypass? I also think every person is entitled to their own choice and they have to choose whats right for them I personally am getting the bypass for my situation but I don't look down on the banders or sleevers or think any less of them just as I hope they wouldnt look down on me we are only human and we make the best choices we can great post!!! Im happy for you

that is awesome way to go!!! sorry about the skin but so happy about the weight loss keep us updated xoxo

Im not a bander I am at the first phase of GB but we all need support and after the ordeal that you are going through I couldn't imagine feeling good. We are here for you and wishing you a speedy recovery and what happens next??? Do you have the band replaced or go to a sleeve option or bypass?? I have read about the bands having to be removed before and then other procedures having to occur keep us updated xoxo
