I'm new here and hope to learn more from a lot of you. I have already met with my surgeon and I will be having the Gastric Bypass done. I’ve already met with my dietician and started my 3 months of classes needed by my Ins. Co. Now I meet with my psychiatric on Monday May 1^st for clearance. I hope to chat with a lot of you over time and share our stories.

Alright then…you are on track to changing your life. This is a great place to read so many different views and situations. Try to look over as much as possible. It really does prepare you for the worst but then makes everything so sweet when you feel pretty okay. Not great but pretty good considering what you just did.

Every one will tell you "walk and sip water" words to follow.

After that all your "new steps" to follow will fall into place. Just take it one day at a time.

I wish you well and hope you are as happy as I am now. Before you know it you will be celebrating you loss.

Hello & welcome I have been mia due to the fact that Im going threw stuff unrelated to wls. Im almost 3 years out gastric bypass. I have no issues except enemic which is under control.

Hi Karl! I think you will find that this place is amazing for advice and tips on everything you could possibly think of! I had my surgery (gastric bypass) 12 days ago and I have counted on this forum to answer my questions and reassure me at least 5 times a day every day lol. It's also very good for motivation! When I'm feeling like I made a huge mistake or when I'm hurting or having issues with stuff I just read through the success stories on here and look at all the pictures of everyone's amazing transformations. You're on the right track!! Don't get discouraged! And good luck! I look forward to seeing your progress!

Thank you all for your feedback. I look forward to sharing my experience with everyone too.
