Im due to have gastric bypass 25th September anyone else?

I had a family member who got that done. she lost over a hundred pounds within a yr. the only problem she had was eating right. it was hard for her to eat at all and it took alot of tries to finally be healthy. she also lost some hair do to lack of nutritious foods. keep positive and think long term...

Thanks for the reply I chose the bypass as there is a scheme I could resort to my old ways my surgeon said that I could put weight back on if im not careful plus I didn't want to have to keep going back to hospital to have the band tightened etc I will see how I get on with it though

I'm finally scheduled for banding Sept. 21st. Had to wait over a month for insurance to be satisfied with my prerequisites, then had to find a time when my surgeon could get the surgical suite at the local med center. So...now I'm just biding my time and counting down the days.

I'm getting banded in September...Can't wait to look and feel better, but definitely nervous about the procedure and immediately post op! Sounds like more pain than I was expecting! I was thinking it would be like gall bladder surgery...anyone can compare that for me?

I am getting banded in September....I have my final meeting with the surgeon on Wednesday and then I start my pre-op diet but I am so excited!

I am getting banded on Sept 6th. The first day was hard of my 2 week diet. It gets easier each day... I find myself not even eating all my food. I have been eating a Talapia with Brussels and little fruit and it would get me full... I have learned so far not to drink with my meal or I feel hungry. It's like I already have my band... Tonight I ate 4 bites of my Talapia, 6 Brussels and 2 notes of fruit and I was full! I thought it was gonna be harder but I will tell you it is hard to see someone eat a pizza slice or a hamburger but I just have to be motivated and keep my eye on the future and remember how much I want the surgery and it helps!!!
