Got my gastric bypass on Nov 4. Doing really good, but tire easily. Just started on pureed foods. SO made me chicken with peas & carrots. Looked like baby poop, but tasted delicious! Lost 12 pounds since surgery day. Glad to be able to have my Protein Shakes again! A good friend of mine who had a bypass done just over a year ago, can't believe I haven't experienced dumping syndrome yet. Keeping my fingers crossed, but very careful with how I am adding food into my diet. Hope all is going well with my early Nov surgery buddies!!

We'll, I had my gastric bypass yesterday,. Been discharged from hospital. Haven't needed pain meds since midnight. Feeling really good! I hope everyone's surgery & recovery is as easy as mine has been! Having all of you people to talk with & learn from, really made a significant success in how I went into this! Thank you! and love you!

Hi! I am having my bypass on 11/4. Very nervous & very excited. Looking forward to a new, healthier life. I am one week into my liquid pre-op diet, and I have to admit, I am struggling. food that I don't even like is looking real appetizing right now! Lol

Hi! I'm having my gastric bypass surgery on November 4, if everything falls into place. I am excited, but also very nervous. I am in Wisconsin, a long way away from South Carolina, but sure would enjoy some buddies!

Hi Amanda! My name is Nancy, and I'm new here, too. I'm in West Central Wisconsin. I just had my first meeting with my surgical team coordinator. As far as a date for my bypass, all I know is it will be in October. Definitely excited to be on this weight loss journey with this fantastic group of people!

I got my bypass done through Wisconsin Medicaid, and it took about 2 months for final approvement. I had the same fears as you. If all your Drs are onboard, and you've jumped through all the hoops, just keep a positive attitude! You won't be refused unless a Dr found the necessity questionable, and you would know that already. Keep your chin up, attitude positive, and with all of us rooting for you, you got this girl!!!
