    I HAD GASTRIC BYPASS 5 1/2 YEARS AGO AND IT WAS THE BEST DECISION I COULD HAVE MADE. I TAKE A DAILY Vitamin AND Iron PILL AND B12 ONCE A WEEK. I DIDN;T GAIN THE WEGHT BACK BECAUSE MY DOCTOR PUTS A PIG VALVE IN BETWEEN THE STOMACH AND THE INTESTINES TO PREVENT THE OPENING FROM STRETCHING OUT. THAT IS WHY A LOT OF PEOPLE REGAIN THEIR WEIGHT. MY BLOODWORK IS PERFECT AND THE ONLY DOWN SIDE IS THAT I TAKE OMEPRAZOLE DAILY TO PREVENT ULCERS. I PROBABLY ADDED AT LEAST TEN YEARS TO MY LIFE AND HAVE MUCH MORE ENERGY. MY sleep APNEA DID NOT GO AWAY EVEN AFTER I LOST THE WEIGHT SO I STILL SLEEP WITH A MASK.
