sip sip sip your water and WALK.

You're going to feel like a Mack truck hit you and you'll wonder what the hell you were thinking when you decided to go through with it.

It's worth it in the end.

PM me if you need anything .. sometimes just a shoulder and a willing ear to vent to can make a huge difference.

Gastric Bypass seems to be all encompassing yet there are many different procedures.

dietary restrictions.

You'll feel better in a while .. I promise.

I had the BPD/DS (biliopancreatic diversion with a duodenal switch) in 2005. BEST thing I ever did for myself.

I have some issues, yes. But they were expected.

hope to hear more from you when you're able.

Most of my awful turned out to be a pulmonary embolism. Post more later when I'm not posting from a phone.
