Hi,
My name is Kelsey and I am in the pre-op stage of gastric bypass surgery. I just had my psychologist appt who cleared me for surgery and I just need to be cleared by the dietician on Tuesday. I’m nervous but excited for this weight loss journey.
 
Welcome to your group, Kelsey. Everyone is nervous as surgery nears, but you're going to be so happy when it's over and the weight starts to slide off! Almost everyone here has had a good outcome, and most of us had great ones. Take a look through the posts using the search feature and read posts based on any questions you may have. And ask anyone here, too. We're always glad to welcome a new person to come along.
Thank you so much you are kind. I will be so happy once I have it and the weight starts coming off.
 
Welcome Kelsey! I had the bypass 2 1/2 years ago. It has changed my life in so many positive ways. I was so nervous the day of that I almost got up and left lol I am so glad I didn't! The decision ranks right up there with giving birth and getting married in the top 3! .
 
Thanks everyone! To update everyone I had my surgery on Tuesday and it went well! Stayed one night in the hospital and came home the next day. Still in a bit of pain from the gas but getting better everyday . Thanks for the support
