Hi I'm new here 22 years old and considering gastric bypass... Did my 6 month clearance, have my surgery date, did my pre-op class just waiting for my insurance to clear me... Anyway I downloaded this app a while back but haven't posted much since I was kinda afraid to jinx my chances of having the surgery... But I really need support so I'm crawling out of my comfort zone and going to start asking loads of questions for those who can help & have gone through this...

As my surgery date approaches I'm getting more nervous, and some questions popped in my head for instance...

Can you go on to have a vaginal delivery if you've had wls?

Can you breastfeed? (I'm a huge breastfeeding advocate & plan on having another baby in the future so these 2 questions are a huge concern)

I have tons of question but just writing this spooked my nervous lol & forget most of them...

If your near my age or have being through this for a long time I would love to private message you

Maybe be weight loss friends? Anyway thanks for reading I could use support my nervous are out the window...

I'm sorry. That was an unfair statement. Furtherance apologized for posting on the wrong thread...twice. They have always been supportive and frank to me and are to most people on here. This is not a site to degrade others so please be kind.

I ordered my vitamins from bariatric choice and bariatric advantage. Just google those two to find them. Just keep in mind a few things. Don't start off buying huge quantities of anything, just in case you don't like how they taste. Get calcium citrate for your calcium. Oh and avoid gummy type vitamins. Be ready for a drastic change in your taste buds right after surgery, and that will be less pronounced over time. Get up and walk as soon as they let you- hospital beds always give me back aches and walking helped with that. Plus it helps you lungs and circulation. Oh, and it is perfectly normal to be anxious right before your surgery. Oh, and make sure that when they start "feeding" you at the hospital, the person delivering your "food". Gives you the proper "food". They messed mine up every time. You are improving your life and this is a big step. And it takes courage and determination to do this. So be proud as you take this journey. You are awesome! And i hope you the very best!
