Hi everyone my name Tonya. About three weeks ago I woke up throwing up blood and was in so very much pain I was taken to the ER to find that I have three growths and my liver function is so very low so my dr has set me up for gastric surgery. I have not gotten it yet but I got for my first appointment may 1 st and I am scared because I don't know what to expect. Can anyone share te prodded with me an let me know how long it takes to get in and well I guesse everything cuz what I am reading n line now helping!!!! Thanks

I've never heard of anyone having a bypass for that reason. That sounds really scary. I had my surgery 4 weeks ago. They surgery itself wasn't bad but I'm dealing with some other complications now....what is it that you would specifically like to know about the surgery?

How long did it take before they told u it ok to have the sugary I want to get it done and over

I think I might get a second opinion. As for me, my surgery date is May 1. It's been a 9 month process to do all of the required tests. I wish you well.

I hope it not that long

Well hello my name is Pam and in the state I live in which is ct the process took me 6 months of different test support groups. I have my procedure April 26 6am which is 7 days away

Wow wish u lik ur I. My thought a

I started my process in August and had my surgery in March

I started the process in November and had my surgery April 12. It was a very thorough process...meeting wirh a psychologist, nutritionist, gastric bypass classes, etc. Good luck.

I had to have full lab work...ekg...stress test..sleep apnea test...psych eval...nutritionist visit......mandatory support groups...and lose 10% of my weight

That is exactly all the things I had to do and now I am ready my GBS is Thursday April 26 at 6am. Tomorrow I start my 5 day protein diet and I am excited

Good luck with everything. Plz keep us posted

I started my process in September and had my bypass in January so about 5 months!
