To answer my own question, yes.

My Doc gave me a script for B-12 injectables since I don't want to drive 3 1/2 hour round trip to his office everytime I need a shot (monthly). Are the B-12 injectables the same thing as methylcobalamin?

I too would like one in the Henry County area. If I wasnt to attend a goup, I drive to Johns Creek where I had my surgery.

Do a search on Google for gastric bypass before and after pics. All anxiety went away after looking at those because I knew it was going to be worth it. Good luck! We are here for you!!!

I was ok until they rolled me in the OR but they gave me some happy drugs to calm me and the next thing I knew I was waking up in the recovery room. Long story short: you are going to be OK and you are going to be soooo glad you did it. Today is one month from when I had surgery and I have already lost 51 lbs. Yes... 51 pounds in a month.

I like the Bariatric Advantage vanilla flavor! :-)

Ok so I am doing very well and entering week 2. During weeks 2, 3, and 4, I am supposed to to puree all of my foods. So is that basically just throwing the food in a blender and griding up as much as possible? Kind of like "pre-chewing" your food? LOL

I decided to go vegetarian so it should be pretty easy to puree all my foods. It will mostly be legumes and the such.

I'm noticing it calm down a lot now.

I went from a 52" waist to a 34" waist. I was going through sizes like crazy so I learned to shop second hand stores, like the Salvation Army.

That's a good idea...

I was already taking it before the surgery and was told to keep taking it.

I had my Gastric Bypass 1/27. My stomach is constantly rumbling and it is loud. Is that normal? I am doing well with my stage 1 diet.

Hi Everyone! My name is Christopher and I currently reside on the Southside of Atlanta in McDonough, GA. I just had Gastric Bypass surgery on 1/27/15 at Emory Johns Creek Hospital. The staff at the hospital was just awesome... they took excellent care of me and I couldn't be happier with the hospital staff and especially my surgeon - Dr. Christopher Hart of Atlanta Bariatric. It's also very important to recognize the people behind the scenes who you normally do not see - the surgery scheduler, the insurance coordinator, etc.

I am 42 years old (born on leap year) and my starting weight was 355 lbs. I am on the stage one diet which consists on clear broths, nectar Protein drinks, sugar-free popsicles, sugar-free Jello, etc.

I joined Bariatric Pal because I would like to make some new friends and be a part of a support group.
