I am 39 years old I am going in for gastric bypass surgery on May 22, 2007. I am married and have for boys two of which are grown and out of the house. I weigh 240 lbs and I am anxious to have this surgery. My mon had it about 5 years ago and she lost alot of weight but now has gained 15 lbs back. I want to make sure that won't happen. So I am following the doctor by the T. The two week liquid diet before surgery is kind of rough.

Thank you. It gets tough at times but i'm doing good as far as losing again after a long stall.
You look great. I have been thinking of having the tummy tuck but I am afraid, plus I want to wait a year to see if I can get pregnant. May I ask, how much did it cost and how much did they take off?

It is April 22, 2008 and I have had alot of ups and downs with my surgery. I had a stricture and had to have a second surgery for it. I then was still getting very nauseated and my surgeon wanted to reverse my bypass and I told him no way. I ended up getting a new surgeon the surgeon who did my moms bypass and he immediately set me up for gall bladder surgery, which did the trick. I am now having problems with what they are calling chronic constipation. I know I have made the right decision.
