Hello and Welcome

HI and welcome to my first ever blog about "Life after Gastric Bypass Surgery" here you will find out all about what life is really like after having this popular surgery. So many men and women today are so very anxious to have this exciting opportunity to lose weight and get healthier and feel better about their selves that not too many folks sit down and take a look at the long term effects, physically , mentally or emotionally.

Insurance companies will be more then happy to pay for this surgery because in the long run it will save them hundreds of thousands of dollars because of all the problems obesity causes in a body.So men and woman alike who are 100 lbs overweight or more will flock to their Dr's office to get that blessed referral and off they go with stars in their eyes and HOPE..Losing so much weight is such a high in itself that most people do not take the time to study or follow the " after" rules.So here I will try my best to inform everyone not only the good things that can happen with this life altering surgery but the bad as well. I have lost 170 lbs and have kept most of it off over the past 6 years and I wish someone would of taken the time to tell me what long term effects can or will happen after the weight loss. I am very happy I had it done and would not change that for anything but I should of made myself just as prepared for the after as I was for the " going in". So many people who have had this surgery even "stars" have gained the weight back, but with a little forwarned information and facts everything should run alot smoother.

If your reading this post chances are you already KNOW all there is to know about getting and having the surgery it is what happens later that is getting your attention.If anyone has any of their own "after" stories please let me know,;-)

Part of the success that I had after surgery attributes to how prepared I was going in. I know people who were completely unprepared and didn't know how to react to the aftershock. "It blows my mind that a doctor would perform surgery without explaining what will happen afterwards," especially when so much weight loss comes from following what I call "the rules." So IF you have had the surgery or you WANT to have the surgery join my blog and ask any questions you may have and I will help you go through this wonderful experience and sometimes frustrating time together. I will also give you tips and secrets I have used to keep the weight off! Until next time..Thanks and God Bless!!!
