Hello, I'm Robin. I'm 26 (almost 27) years old and I'm halfway through my journey to Gastric Bypass

July 17th was my official halfway point for the 6 month supervised diet with my PCP.

My husband, Denny is right behind me by a month so he'll be having his soon too

I'm extremely nervous though, I've never had a major surgery (or any surgery for that matter) before.

I just have to keep remembering that I'm doing this for my son. He'll be a year old in August (same day as me, yay same birthday )

Any tips? I've been trying to lose a little weight for the supervised diet, but I haven't lost anything...I've actually gained

Just read a lot here and other places so you are as educated as you can be for this journey. It blows me away to hear from people who are shocked when certain things happen....you must be informed! This is a new journey and being informed is half the battle. What a gift you are giving yourselves and your child. Beautiful!

I am at my halfway point too. I'm going to have my surgery in the middle of October. I would like a surgery buddy if your up to it :-)

Education is the key! By the time my surgeon set the surgery date, I only had 1 or 2 questions for him. Everything else was covered by the pre-op classes, nutritionist, program nurses, etc.

I'm trying to do as much research as I can, I want to be well prepared
