I found alot of comfort on the Obesity help website reading profiles of the
before and after people. It was very informative, motivating and I learned all I
needed to know about what would take place and everything I needed to prepare
for. The chat room is and message board is also great.

support is what OSSG is here for, too — and we were at it before they were!]
Nona Miller reports for any surgery, whether it is gastric bypass, gall bladder removal or
reconstructive. I found that not reacting was hard, so I took my mind off by
planning things to do after my surgery. Getting my house really clean,
preparing meals ahead for my family, crafts, reading, anything I could think of
to get my mind in another direction.

tcav836 I am 47 years old and my BMI is 45. I am hoping to complete all my pre-

op appointments to have a Lap. RNY by March 1. I have sleep apnea and
fortunately no other co-morbidities. Although I am sure I want this
surgery, every time I read a post-op story, especially someone with a
complication, I get very nervous and anxiuos. My surgery is not for
at least another 3 months and I am a nervous wreck thinking about it
every waking minute. Anyone go through this who can give me a few
pointers to make the wait easier.

You’re going to get good and bad reports for any surgery, whether it is gastric
bypass, gall bladder removal or reconstructive. I found that not reacting was
hard, so I took my mind off by planning things to do after my surgery. Getting
my house really clean, preparing meals ahead for my family, crafts, reading,
