Quote From: jennifer_wi am post gastric bypass i once weighed 350 i am now down to 172 i have been fighting obesity sonce a young child. i have some to terms that its not just weight it is an addictsion. i was and still am addicted to food, even though i had gastric bypass i still think of food constantly. i feel that a support person/group an dprofessional help is much neeed in my situation and think some others coul dbenefit from it. the reson im posting this is because i feel that when you los the weight no matter whater what it will always be a battle and you need some kind of support system in place. just my input....
I have 140 pounds to lose and will be going to an educational meeting this evening for the gastric bypass. I know it is what I want to do it is just a matter of getting an insurance company that will pay for it. My husband feels I would be much like you with the surgery and I tend to agree, but I have to start somewhere and losing the weight is a great way to strat. I have been advised by friends who have had the surgery that going to the support groups is a must. How long has it been since you had your surgery?
