Gastric Bypass Surgery: What are the positive and negative side effects of having Gastric Bypass (Roux En Y) surgery?

I'm three weeks post-RNY gastric bypass, and there are a lot of ups and downs as a patient. So far, I'm down 26 pounds, which I would never have been able to do on my own. I'm already having a reduction in my obesity comorbidities (obstructive sleep apnea and COPD).

The weight comes off fast, but you must be very disciplined. It's difficult to get used to eating 2 ounces at a time. If you have one or two bites too much, you will vomit.

You must be vigilant to drink water all day long (except 30 minute prior to eating, and 30 minutes after) or you will be at risk of dehydration. You must take your multivitamins, calcium citrate, and B-12 religiously. If you would like to read more about my experience, I have a gastric bypass surgery blog www.beautyandthebypass.com.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
