What does gastric bypass FEEL like?
arevivo replied to michellej's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can say one thing. No matter what u will go through. it is going to change your life. I am 11 months after and 149 pounds lighter. i feel amazing. this is the 2nd best achievment in my life. the 1st best achievment was getting married. The first 6 first weeks were the most difficult, some weired sensation in stomich at the begginig before have the staples taking out, allot of dehydration and weekneses for a few weeks. it all went away after 6 weeks. Good luck. -

In Canada its free but years of waiting. hhhh i waited 7 years. when they called me a few months ago i completely forgot i was waiting for this surgery. funny !!!

i think its normal at the beginning, that after a few month we still look weired because the weight lose is not proportional and the face looks pale. but it all will go away. you have to be proud that you got this opportunity to do the surgery. you have to understand as well that when people know you as a big person and all of a sudden your face look thin as a fish, it looks weired to them. everyone will allways compliment you,.

Has Anyone Gotten Light Headed
arevivo replied to PaulB's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i got this light headed and disiness for allmost 7 weeks after surgery. it is a normal step. when i started to drink more it became better. what help me more is mixing my water with electrolyte powder i buy at the pharmacy. i am on my 8 week and still get a bit of disiness when i over exercise at the gym. i recommend taking it easy and drink the water with electrolytes. -
i was taking small pills 2 days after. the doctor give me B12 to take. i had no problem swalloing it.
