Hello. I am concerned about the limits I need to place on myself during recovery. My daughter is pregnant and I am supposed to throw her a baby shower about three months after I have the gastric bypass. Am I out of my mind? Should I have someone else do the baby shower? I’m happy to pay for everything I just fear I won’t have the stamina to carry out the duties of baby shower hostess. Any suggestions?

Catwoman is correct do not think you'll ever lose too much the bypass is great. Yes I lost more than I had planned but I'm still going great!

I did the bypass specifically because I had GERD before I had surgery, and I didn't want to risk it getting worse. RNY often improves if not outright cures GERD.

My concern is that if I do the bypass, I will lose more then I need to. That the reason I was leaning towards the sleeve. I guess it’s best to wait for my endoscopy and see how that factors into the procedure I need.

Hi. This is my first post. I am a 50 year old woman with life long weight struggles. I am near the top of my weight range right now at 251 pounds at 5 feet tall. I'm half way through my pre OP appointments at this point. At my initial visit, I discussed having the gastric sleeve but the more I read about the bypass, I think it may be a better choice for me. I do have some problems with heartburn and I see that the sleeve can aggravate that condition. Anyone around my height and weight have the bypass instead or planning to? I'd love to hear a few different takes on this. Thank you.
