Gastric Bypass at end of Feb. Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm Kim and I'm having my surgery in Oxford UK at the end of Feb at The Manor. I'm 30 and I've been so depressed and in a cycle of weight loss and gain- I'm really excited to be finally setting the date!

Is anyone else having surgery end of Feb, aged around 30 or from UK? Would be great to find some friends to discuss the coming weeks and months having decided to proceed with a bypass.

Let's do this! Time for Kim 2.0!

Xx

Hi! I'm not from UK but I am 31 and my surgery is Feb 19! I'm having gastric bypass. I'm from Connecticut. I know how you feel! I get really depressed sometimes from my weight. I'm so excited to start this journey! Or rather finish this journey since all the pre op requirements took some time to complete!

I'm in the states and my surgery is Feb 25. I go for all my tests on. Feb 9, nutrition class on the 12th and then 2 week liver shrinking diet.

I'm 36, I have a son who is 11 and I'm a single mom.

We are close in dates! I have two children 11 and 8... They are a motivator but also they make me worried. I am so afraid of the surgery it self! I've never been under anesthesia before but I just remind myself that this is a good choice and I will be healthier because of it... But it's scary.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
