LindafromFlorida 1,542 Posted January 6, 2014 LOL Janie, yes the help here is amazing! You want to live to see your grandchildren so I am happy for you in this journey! My husband and I were sleeved Nov and Dec. About 10 years ago my niece had the bypass. She has done great. Her weight still goes up but she maintains and gets it off, plus her surgeon has followed her 10 years which is great. Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandista 7,466 Posted January 6, 2014 Best wishes! I am so happy with my surgery and the promise of a healthy happy future. Glad you found the forum. It has been so helpful for me to read through threads, ask questions and get input from so many different people. Much more info than has been available to me through the medical community......
