Fatso, tub-a-lard, and tubby were just a few of the names I grew up hearing. I have been overweight all my life. I tried to diet and I took pills all to no avail. So on January 27, 2000, I had a gastric bypass performed. Now, I'm losing weight and wondering where is it going? This page is dedicated to my weightloss. I plan to put pictures of my before surgery shots and pictures of my progress. So bear with me, as I struggle to get this page up and going. Please check back often to monitor my progress. I would love to hear your weightloss stories and plan to have a page dedicated to those stories with your permission of course. If you want your picture on this site send it to me via email. |

What is Gastric Bypass? |
|
|
Gastric Bypass is a procedure where the upper stomach is stapled off and reinforced with stitches to create a new upper stomach pouch. The new pouch will hold approximately 20 cc of food or fluids at a time. The jejunum is attached to the new upper stomach pouch. By doing this procedure, foods are not digested in the area of the stomach that absorbs the most fat and sugars. This causes weight loss. However, many people remain on vitamins and supplements the remainder of their life. Eventually the stomach will stretch out some allowing the person to eat normally. Weight loss occurs mostly during the first year. For more info on gastric bypass, click on the link above. |
