miyita27 3 Posted October 18, 2022 Hello everyone, This is my first post. I am having gastric bypass surgery tomorrow 10/19/22 and I am so nervous and excited. I can't believe that the day is almost here. I have been researching WLS for about 5 years and finally started the process about 6 months ago. I am mostly nervous about the mental challenges I will face after the surgery. Any tips for a newbie? 1 summerseeker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St77 87 Posted October 18, 2022 Be sure to walk as much as you are able after surgery to help with gas pain. Don't buy too many new clothes initially because you'll just have to replace them. And as stated above, trust the process. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
