New here and almost 4 months into this journey

[Mickeysfan 0]

Hello there,

I am new here, but am 4 months into this journey of living with gastric bypass. I had my surgery on Dec. 20th, 2012 with Dr. Castro at Methodist Dallas. It has been a great experience so far! I am down 63 pounds and counting. My surgery was a revision from a very old type of band called a Molina band( named after the doctor that placed them) I have had no complications so far. I do battle head hunger more than I care too, but he didn't operate on my mind!!!! I have attended a couple of face to face support meetings, but am looking for as much support as possible to make this journey work for me! I am looking forward to hanging out here and learning from others!

Congrats on the weight loss. I had my surgery December 17th and I'm down 72 lbs since surgery and 82 lbs total. I agree with you, the head hunger is tough. Its tough when food was our best friend for so long and now we can't rely on that food for comfort. You've come to a great place here for support. Welcome!!!
