My experience with the gastric bypass
 

i`m 25 and i had the bypass 2 years ago, and is have been working great on me. at first i lost more than 132 pounds. Due a depression early this year i gained 44 pounds but in less than a month i have lost a quarter of it, maybe more because i only weight myself on mondays so i don`t get obssesed with it.
I don`t have any side efects, just dumping 2 times during 2 years and eating candy, so nothing serius. I only faint once during the first month were i couden`t stand food so i barely eat, but then everything has been great. Now i`m up for my final goal of 118 pounds and i know i can make it. I hope to end december with 132 pounds and then i will go more easily during january. But what i want to say is than u don`t have to be afraid of the surgery, i was up and walking the first day after the surgery, i barely have small scars and i only have to take vitamins and mineral suplements, not a big deal. I hope that my experience help you all

it's nice to meet you, isabel! i read your profile in the first thread - you've done a great job, and you WILL make your goal.

welcome aboard!
