Anyone in VA?

I had gastric bypass surgery on Feb 18, 2015. It would be nice to have someone who has had the same surgery near the same date. Share frustrations, recipes, vent...etc.

    Hello downlbs. Thanks for responding. I'm a little worried that I may not be loosing weight as fast as I think I should. What is your weight loss like?

    @simhr703 I have lost 60 pounds so far. The last week I haven't been too strict with what I have been eating I started at 300 and now 240 and my goal weight is about 180 so I am half way. What is your weight loss so far? I have noticed at times it comes off quickly but I really wouldn't worry as long as your losing a couple pounds a week you should be fine depending on your starting weight.
