after the surgery is it true that you get a extra skin hanging.

I forgot to add that your attitude and faith is what will help you through this surgery. If you have a bad attitude and are a complainer, that will not change. Your attitude does indeed effect your health. I promise you that!

I was in bad medical condition with many serious health issues. Doctors had told me many times I would be dead soon and needed a heart transplant as well as sleep apnea, arthritis, knee replacement, back replacement, neck fusion. I had ruen by pass surgery in 2002, lost 150lbs and have been healthy every since with no health problems anymore. was in wheel chair for many years and worked everyday. Back at work in one week. Best thing I ever did. I still have kept the weight off and can eat most foods ok.

I had my surgery on june 8th. Before surgery I weighed 425, now I weigh about 375 which is about a 50lb difference. I have been walking, playing a little basketball, and swimming. I thought i was going to be in a lot of pain, but my recovery is going pretty well. I am really looking foward to being thin again.

I’m Canadian here…I am at the beginning stages of getting the gastric bypass surgery. Starting in April 2010 with my nutritional classes, all the other counsellors, surgeons etc that I have to meet ahead of time. I am nervous but very much looking forward to it. due to health problems that I have, which is alot.
I can’t wait for the very first time in my life to be able to enjoy my summer. Highly looking forward to my new life.

I had this surgery in June of 2004 and I have remained around 140 …..PLUS we were able to get pregnant on our own where as our daughter we had to take infertility meds.My son is a beautiful healthy 3 yr old.The only begative I have found is that I have 20 lbs of excess skin now and it hangs on me so I have to be real careful with shorts and t shirts making sure they cover my skin.Insurance normally dosent cover the removal.

I had my surgery on December 21st,2009. Since this time I have already lost over 40 pounds. That is half way there. I feel wonderful. It has been the first time in 10 years i’ve weighed under 200 pounds. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is considering it.
