tgrahn

I was able to get in for my consultation at the end of April and will be going in for an open on October 26, 2009. I have had a few people trying to 'scare' me out of the surgery by telling me horror stories of how people who have gastric bypasses vomit every time they eat and look gahstly pale and ill all the time, even several years after their surgery. I was hoping to talk directly to people who have had the surgery and see how their experiences have been and if they have any advice on how to make this as smooth as a process as can be for me. Any advice that any of you wonderful ladies could give me would be greatly appreciated. I am also very worried about the ability to bear children after the surgery as I am 23 and thus far childless.

My procedure is being done by Dr. Nohr or Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada.
