@ Jen in SoCal... Best wishes for your surgery tomorrow!!

Newbie here! Just turned in papers for gastric bypass surgery. Scared about the " unknown" yet anxious to get going on it! I will keep reading here to see how everybody does...so anything you can tell me would be great! Like from a few days before surgery..to surgery and after surgery and first day home etc etc...look forward to talking with you all (hey..how do I get my pic on here?)

Hey everybody! I am a new by..just turned in papers for the surgery on Friday April 27th. Have thought about this for a few years... Asked to have it when I was on Kaiser..they kept saying " if you can't stick to a diet now...you are not a good candidate. I have new insurance on Providence..they are all for it! So excited to get it going. There is a team here in Salem that is at the Salem Hospital Bariatric Surgery center...you will hv this same team for the next 5 or 6 years... Took me forever to figure out how to get to this page to " say something". I tried to get my picture on here but can't seem to figure that out ...any hints out there? I am scared...yet excited to start this New Lifestyle. I have heard others have rude comments about people that have this surgery...like she cheated...or what a cop out for having the surgery. I am sure you all hv had that...I know I have tried every diet out there in the past 30+ years some worked for awhile..some didn't. When it worked...I didn't stay on it long. So now since 2004 I have had type 2 diabetes...high blood pressure high cholesterol ...reflux...etc...am on umpteen pills a day feel awful no energy just want to sleep gain weight lose weight. Well I am fed up with me! Time to do something NOW! I will try to figure this forum thing out and maybe get some pics on here...looking forward to be part of this group where we all have the same surgery and issues we can work on together! ( hope this isn't too long)
