Hi everyone, I had my gastric bypass on Sept 5 and I'm glad I found this awesome app. Looking forward to having all of you for support and feedback.

Congrats on your surgery...How have things been for you this last mth?

Hi tbooks

So far so good. I had a bit of a rough start. Had serious blood loss, which lead to a couple of blood transfusions. It was pretty scary, but I had an awesome medical team around. I was glad that it happened before I was discharged. As for weight loss i've lost 18lbs since my pre-op shakes. Only 8lbs since the surgery, but loss, is loss. How has your journey been?
