New Post Op bypass in Virginia

[GeneC74]

Hello everyone, my name is Gene, and I had Roux en Y bypass surgery March 6th 2020. My surgery weight was 419.8. I am now 410.2 as of March 12th. I began this journey June 2019, at a weight of 489 lbs. I lost 70lbs pre-op and as all of you have experienced went through the battery of test, Psych evals, and the waiting game to get to our surgery date. I am extremely excited to finally lose the weight that has haunted me most of my life. I can't wait to share Gene ver2.0 with the world.

Congratulations on your surgery and welcome to the group!

 

This is a great group that can help you with any questions (all answers have the qualifier that this is not "medical advice" and you should discuss the problem with your Dr). The folks here have lived through most everything and can give you practical advice and will give you the support you will need. Welcome to the family!

Thank you everyone. I pray that you are all staying safe during this Corona Virus outbreak. So far down 24lbs but have not weighed myself in a week. So far so good.

Such amazing progress. You've come so far already. I had my surgery (gastric bypass) on March 12, and have only lost about 23 lbs so far. Progress nonetheless lol.

Thats amazing progress. Keep your head up and eyes on the prize its just around the corner. We did not gain the weight overnight nor will we lose it overnight. So proud of you.. God bless and stay safe.

Thank you for your kind words. You're right - I didn't gain the weight overnight. I need to remember that the results will not be instant. Slow and steady.
