I have been thinking of having Gastric Bypass surgery for about 2 years. I finally decided after many long hours of research and realizing that I have to take care of me- I am 42 and the mother of 2 teenage sons. I am married to a 2 year cancer survivor who is really supportive of me. He wants me to be sucessful and loves the fact that I am so excited about this- I saw my doctor on Thursday and he told me that he was thrilled that I finally decided to do it. I am pretty new at my journey-I have attended the educational session, have seen the nurse practitioner and have appointments with the Phych consult, the nutritionist and then the two day manditory session. I have lost 6 pounds so far for the 10% and have aggressively started a exercise program at the local YMCA. I am anxious to hear from those of you that are where I am or just post OP. I am wondering how you decided open verses Lap surgery.
