I'm from Huntsville, AL. I had Gastric Bypass just over 5 years ago. I have lost 110 lbs. since my first Dr. visit. Not having many problems as long as I don't eat to fast or to much. I was your typical obese person, had diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. I am no longer on any meds for any of these problems. This procedure probably saved my life. It at lest extended it. I am ever so thankful to Dr. Mailapur for this tool. I was unfortunate enough to develop gastro/gastric fistulas 3 years after surgery. This required a very extensive and long surgery to correct. It required a complete revision of my bypass and removal of the remnant portion of my stomach. I had an ulcer caused when an orthopedic surgeon placed me on aspirin as a blood thinner after having hip replacement. He did not tell me that he used aspirin for this. Had a great gastroenterologist that treated the ulcer and things are now much better. I would not trade having bypass for anything. We have a fantastic support group here that is sponsored by our local hospital. It is staffed with a terrific nurse administrator and dietician.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
