Welcome. Yep - I was bypassed in July 13 when I was 50 years old. I was 19.5stone at my biggest (size 24 heading to 26). By Spring 14 I was 10stone and a size 10. I have remained stable ever since. It was the best decision I have ever made and the hardest thing I have ever done. Yes, it was an immense challenge (and continues to be even after 2.5years) but all good, and life is fabulous. My only regret is not having the opportunity when I was younger as my life would have been so very different.

I have a thread in Gastric Bypass RNY: Inspirational photos before and after. It is titled Feeling Fit and Fabulous: Surgery July 13 ... Take a look at just one person's experience of life after bypass.

I am excited for you and look forward to sitting on the Losers' Bench with you xxxx
