Anyone on here had gastric bypass?

I did and it was the best thing I ever did. I weighed over 450 pounds and had lots of health issue and my doctor said I might not live to see the next year so I decided to have the surgory. I have lost over 170 pounds and have about 100 more to go. i feel so much better. Now I can go out and do my job with more energy. I know I look better now so I can get others to look better. I sell Avon and it is hard to sell beauty products when you dont feel bearutyful!

Yes I did on May 19, 2009.  So I'm a month out.  This isn't as easy as I thought.  I sip on water alot and getting enough.  when ever i eat or drink I feel sick.  I'm eating very little.  So I don't understand.  Do you have any tips.  ty  Donna  ice6855@hotmail.com    PS  I love Avon

I did, about 7 years ago.  I lost it all and more.  I would never have believed it, but I am a size 2-4 now.  It used to be hard to find my large size, now I have trouble finding the small size...but this time it feels GREAT!   

It wasn't easy but it was the single best thing I ever did for myself.  If you need support while struggling though, give me a shout.  I'd love to help someone else be successful!  Bypass isn't for everyone; it is a life threatening procedure, not for the faint hearted.  But I would do it again.

GOOD LUCK!

I did on July 17 of 2008. I have lost a total of 152 Pounds and the only regret that I have is that I waited so long to do it. I still want to lose about another 30 but the weight loss has slowed tremendously. If I dont lose another ounce I am still pleased with the results. I have went from a size 30-32 down to an 8-10. I am lighter now than I have been in almost 30 years. I feel better, I have more energy and I no longer have to take a lot of pain medication to help me cope with my Osteoarthritis.  One of the best decisions I have ever made in my life!

Hi,I'm in the midst of having gastric bypass surgery. Right now I'm having the upper gi, bloodwork, seeing the cardiologist, & pulmonologist, etc. Last year this time I was set to have the surgery, but changed my mind, as nothing helped losing weight, not even joining the gym.So I came back to this alternative, but am very excited this time. Thank you ladies for the positive feedback, because many people were trying to talk me out of it. THANKS A LOT! HONEYBEAD
