Good Morning, I kind of knew what I would go through. Three of my family members have had surgery. I have probably lost about 60 pounds so far. I am moving along a lot slower than my girls.I truly believe my stomach is larger than an egg! I had gastric bypass "laparoscopic".I am grateful that my diabetics and blood pressure have been under control. I do find myself getting very sad about muscle loss.I have extreme back issues that limit my ability to exercise.I can already see the loss of breast. lol "I never had big ones" but now forget what I"m thinking. So I find myself getting very weirded out about my body.I'm sure my insurance won't cover any procedures, other people, don;t understand . They think it is better than being fat. O well, I have to get off the pity pot and be grateful for all the blessing that has come along with the surgery. I'll just tuck it in" literally"lol and move forward. Have a wonderful day

My prayers are with everyone. Stick to the plan...

Hello, I am new to this site today. I am 66 yrs, old female. I had my surgery on Oct.29,2019. I have to tell you I am very happy I had my gastric bypass. I am a diabetic and I had high blood pressure. I could not get my sugars under control. Even thou I was taken 4 injections and metformin twice a day. I was on 3 blood pressure pills as well. I have been off all this medicine except my low dose blood pressure pill...My sugar is under control...On top of this, I have lost over 50 pounds. Hooray, All that medicine stopped the day I had my surgery. I still have a way to go but so far so good. It is a very tough journey but I am so glad I am on this trip. Good luck.
