I had my gastric bypass surgery on July 22nd. I decided to have the surgery due to multiple medical reasons and of course wanting to loose the weight. I got pregnant when I was 18 and have been overweight since. I am now 33 and have 2 wonderful kids. I am married to the most wonderful man in the world and he is the most awesome step father to my kids. post-227864-14184038301424_thumb.jpg post-227864-1418403841223_thumb.jpgThey all encouraged me and supported me throughout this process. At 5 months out from surgery I have gone from 280 lbs at my heaviest to 186.2 as of this morning!! I feel like a new person. Just like most everyone I have had some ups and downs but I would make the same decision to have this done if I had to do it all over again. I am so excited to continue on this new journey in my life!!

Thanks!! Most of my downs are problems with food. I have problems eating slow enough. Also my tolerance changes all the time. Something I could eat last week makes me sick this week. I stressed too. You just have to relax. Everything will work out. Good luck!!!

My stress is now from. Reading stories re peoples hair falling out and peoples teeth falling out.... I'm. Starting to wonder if I should not follow through :(

Best decision I ever made to have the surgery. Best I have ever felt!

I have not had any problems with my teeth. My hair has thinned but I take a Biotin Vitamin every day to help with that. All and all for me the ups and benefits far outweigh the downs. Going through with it was the best decision I ever made. I feel wonderful!!

@@mwilson - you look GREAT! I am so happy for you. I have my gastric bypass at 2:45 pm today and I only hope to have that I'll have the same success. My goal weight is for a 189 lb wgt loss. Good luck with the rest of your journey.

How long ago was your surgery????

Did you have the bypass or sleeve and do you have the symptoms I mentioned????

My surgery was 10/7. I have not heard of teeth falling out. I have heard of Hair loss between 3-6 months. But all is good after that. Everything grows back. I am going on 3 months. I will let you know. Bypass for me.
