I am a 35 year old mother of 4 i have been following the route of getting a gastric bypass for 2 years now! I have finally been approved by the nhs for my surgery which will be taking place on the 22/06/12. I am very excited and nervous all in one go.i Have had to pack my kids of to my parents in Spain for a few weeks to give me a chance to recover as you can imagine having a 10,6,4,3 year old i am on the go all the time! I really want to meet like minded people and be supported and be a supporter!!! If you dont mind me being over the pond?

missy 6 Posted May 22, 2012 How very true. So where are you in the cycle of surgery I have 31 days till surgery for a rny gastric bypass. I am learning things every day but looking forward to feeling so much better about me and being able to do more! I am lucky my husband is very supportive or I wouldn't be able to do this alone. And now pleased to be meeting people who feel the same x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
