Thea7777, I’ll be praying all goes well for you!!! I’m sure you will do great and a year from now you’ll be so happy with the results ❤️

Thanks y’all, it means so much to me that I have a place to voice my concerns, fears and triumphs ❤️❤️!! Y’all are great ?

Thank you so much for that! I have picked one of the top surgeons with INOVA Bariatrics. It was just so hard seeing her that way.... But thank you again for your words of encouragement ?

I’m still very early in my Gastric Bypass process. I was so excited, then I visited my friend today in the hospital. She just had gastric sleeve done July 5, she had a leak and was sent home anyway. A week or so later she started feeling very sick, running a fever and having shortness of breath. She was taken to the hospital where she found out she was in septic shock. 2 stents and 2 drains later and almost dying she is on tube feeds for the next 8-12 weeks but slowly recovering. Now I’m second guessing myself about my decision to have the gastric bypass surgery done. I’m not posting this to scare any other new comers, I’m just genuinely freaking out and looking for some advice. Any and all advise is much appreciated ?

Thank you!! I’m so excited and loving reading everyone’s comments and soaking up all the knowledge I can ?

Hello again, I had my first dietician and exercise appointment on the 26th. It went really well. We discussed diet and exercise. Scheduled the rest of my appointments and my psych eval. Will have my EGD in August. I’m feeling very excited about my fresh start and ready to fast forward to surgery day ???

Thank you everyone! I am so excited to be a part of this family now!

I am at the very beginning of my journey. I just had my consult for gastric bypass surgery last Wednesday and already have my consult appointment for my endoscopy and my first nutrition appointment scheduled for next week. I love reading all the posts and seeing all the success stories! I will be posting my journey along the way. I have to have 6 months of nutrition classes as one of my insurance requirements, so I should be ready for surgery by January. Any and All advise is welcome ?❤️
