I had gastric bypass surgery over 20 years ago in Little Rock, AR. I weighed 248-lbs. I lost 102-lbs. I currently weigh 158-lbs.I attribute the weight gain to getting older (now 54) & more sendentary. The only problematic side affect for me has been anemia. I take a prescription Iron supplement (which is not covered by insurance) but is more very soluable as due to the bypass, I don't absorb Iron easily. I do eat things high in natural iron content. I can eat anything I want, including all types of meats with no purging. I would recommend this type surgery to anyone who is considered morbidly obese. Linda Proffitt Fayetteville, AR |

Baraitric Surgery are also known as Weight Lose Surgery. I had experience with one of them . I have LAP-BAND surgery 2 years ago. I helps me lose weight. I lose my weight up to 30-40% in years. BUt after that we hav to take too much care about our body. We have to change our eating habits. These surgeries have its side effects also and some body did not suit this surgery also so if anyone wants to go for any surgery please take advice of doctor.

I am early in the gastric bypass process and nervous as heck. I need to do it to save my health as is really being pushed because my diabetes is resistant to all meds and insulin. For those who have had it done, nothing to be scared of, right?? lol
