Hi Amy, Thanks for the welcome.
If you dont mind me asking , Did you have the gastric bypass, or the lap band.

Hi Nell,

I don't mind at all. Please ask away! I had the laprascropic (sp?) gastric bypass. My surgery date was Feb. 11. I have done fairly well with it. I think everyone has good days and bad days, especially in the first year, but my good days have definitely outnumbered the bad. Really, I wouldn't even say I've had bad days - maybe a bad hour or two here and there. It's definitely been worth it. I am looking forward to getting healthier and being more active. I have two very active boys who are almost two. I did this for my quality of life - and for there's too! I am sure you can relate with your grandkids! Anyway, if you have specific questions, feel free to ask. Like I said, there's lots of knowledge on this forum and a lot of great people who are willing to help in whatever way they can!
