Hello,

My name is Barbie, Im 35 years old, and im having gastric bypass surgery in 2 -3 weeks. I am currently a Type #2 diabetic and Im insulin dependent.

I have been denied a few times by insurance, but finally got the okay last march 2012. I just found this site/app and I love it!!

I realize I have a long, RoCkY road ahead of me, but im willing to work hard and fight everyday to be healthy.

Thank you.

Hey Barbie,

My name is Jacee and I'm 23, female and living in Australia. I go in for my RNY bypass on the 25th of May. I originally had Lapband surgery, and was very successful until my band slipped. I can't wait to start my new journey :)

Best of luck!

Thank you and good luck to you as well. I wanted the band, but my surgeon detoured me to gastric bypass surgery instead. :D

The exhaustion goes away. Your insides are still healing:) I'll be 6 weeks post op on Wednesday and each day I feel just a little better. Also I was told that your liver is metabolizing high levels of fat and it (your liver) gets exhausted from all of the hard work its doing:)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
