I just registered and started classes so I am on my way to my gastric bypass surgery, however I am very scared. I was wondering if anyone would like to share their experience with me. How much have you lost? Complications? Regrets? I am in need of support from people who have been through the surgery. I am truly terrified, but also excited at the same time.

Wow 7 kids! Can you say super mom!! I'm glad to hear how well you are doing now! How long did you have to take pain meds?

Thank you, I am happy to hear how well you are doing. Were there any tools you used to help make the first couple of months easier? Is there an ideal puree machine I could buy that's easy to use and clean?

Everything concerns me. Nutrition concerns me, being sick afterwards concerns me because I have two small children one is 10 months old.

Thanks so much for replying. I feel like this is going to help me feel better about the surgery. Has anyone had problems with blood clots or anything serious?

Thank you. I'm worried about the eating part of it. I actually eat pretty healthy, I take 3 spin classes a week plus I use my elliptical every day. I just can't seem to loose the weight after having two kids. I'm getting the surgery to prevent future disease and health problems. I don't feel as though I'm as big as society pressure makes me feel. 5'2 220 size 14 jeans. I'm scared. I beat myself up because I can't loose the weight. I don't plan on telling many people because I am embarrassed I guess to admit I'm morbidly obese. I'm scared. I'm hoping I learn a lot in classes if not I'm going to just have to just have the surgery and figure it out. That's what scares me. Not knowing. I feel like I've let myself down. But I am trying so hard. I've been busting my butt for so long to be "morbidly obese" I'm tired of being the biggest person at family parties. Too bad all of my husband's female family members look like super models compared to me.

Thank you. I am going to check out your links. I'm just trying to mentally prepare myself for it. I don't want to chicken out last minute. I'm very nervous about long term negative effects it may cause.
