I am looking for people willing to talk about weight loss surgery experiences?

I am about to undergo gastric bypass, and even after years of research I find myself all of a sudden feeling as though I know absolutely nothing now that the date is set. I am looking to talk to people who have had the surgery and gain some personal insight to the surgery and the aftermath. If anyone is willing to talk to me personally, or point me in the right direction of a helpful forum, that would be great! Thank you!

    I am a gastric bypass patient. I had been obese since the 4th grade and started having health problems at the age of twenty. At the time of the surgery, I was taking seven different medications and realized that surgery was my last resort to stay alive.

    When I decided that surgery was the way to go, my next step was finding someone who specialized in not just surgical options and procedures, but who truly understood obesity. That meant understanding its very nature—from its origin, its progression, and its effects physically and emotionally, I didn't want just any doctor who could and would perform the surgery. I wanted the right doctor. I came across Forerunners Healthcare Consultants website and learned about the surgery and their associated doctors. I remember I already had the information printed out and in hand when I approached my mom and told her, 'I want to have surgery. To anyone contemplating having surgery I would say it was the best decision I ever made for myself. I feel blessed to come across Forerunners Healthcare Consultants and to undergoing the procedure literally saved my life because, with the path I was on, I may not have lived to see 35 or 40. I found Forerunners Healthcare Consultants and I credit them with being the vessel that God used to save my life. You don't realize how people treat overweight people until your body shrinks...its amazing! People are more friendly and social and I am able to enjoy them because of my new confidence. So, it really depends on how well you can change and control your eating habits, and whether you are willing to take the extra risks involved with the surgery. There's more info here

    Music allows you to eat more. According to a work by the journal Psychology as well as Marketing, soft, classical tunes encourage that you take time over your meal, so you consume more food. So, switch off – silence is likely to make you more aware of what you’re investing in your mouth.

    It’s Friday brunch time and you simply can’t stop going back with regard to seconds. But hang on! Stop for any minute and suck on a supplementary strong mint. The flavour will certainly put you off that 3 rd plate of chicken korma/roast beef/sushi medley.

    Stock up on nude heels – the more expensive the better. They play within the eye and no-one knows where your limbs finish as well as the Louboutin’s start.

    Become an expert in what exactly you’re doing. Learn how and why things work and you’ll have faith that they can. Check out a podcast termed Cut The Fat, and focus on it when you’re exercising.
