Oh wow that's excellent. You lose weight a bit more rapidly with the gastric bypass than the gastric sleeve right? I think that's what my surgeon said. Have you started eating normal again?? Did you tell many people about your surgery?? I decided that I was only telling my husband, my parents and my sister.

Yea with the gastric you lose it a lot faster ... I kept mine a secret just cause I didn't want anyone to judge me or say that I took the easy rout out ...I only told my mom and dad, I made my stay at the hospital fast I was in Thursday and put Friday morning ...

Yeah I understand about people judging, and even though they might think it's the easy way out its not really. You still need to put in the hard work. It's also hard keeping it a secret, and being able to trust someone enough to talk about what your going through. You can always talk to me if you need to. I might not being going through it just yet but I will be. ????
