I go in for gastric bypass surgery this tuesday.
I have been going thru the steps for it since April of this year and the surgery date is finally here.
My father died at the age of 44 of health / weight problems and I don't want to die that early.
I was 444lbs in April and have lost 38lbs upto this point before surgery. I can't wait to be more active and able to do activities for longer. I
just feel this is gonna open up alot of new things for me.
Just thought I would let you Thorpers know whats up because I know you guys are cool here about serious stuff as well as scat porn  (had to end it on a funny note).

Ya bro. Best of luck. Will you be MIA for a while from Thorp?

Definitly a good thing for you to be doing. I hope it works out even better than expected. Just be sure to follow all the 'rules' and guidelines when
you get out of surgery. I know someone who had it and its a great way to lose weight and be healthy but its still a lot of work. Take care!!

Thanks for the kind words. I'll probably be away for a week or 2 from the boards. I'll see if my fiance can post with a heads up.
Also, Honus. Lori (my fiance) will obviously post how I am doing on her myspace so if she does'nt hit up the Thorp, please repost it on here.
I am sure I won't be away too long. Hospital stay is 3-4 days... Maybe they have wifi
Also, just letting you all know that this "sXe kid" will be taking all the drugs they throw at me.

woah, this is wild.
follow the doctors instructions and take of your self.
after the bypass has been put in place, are there any restrictions on physical activity?
how long does the bypass stay in place?
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

It's permanent. As seen abov e, they cut your stomach pouch down to the size of an egg and lead the intestine straight up to the new, much smaller
stomach.
What this does is:
1) make it so you can eat VERY little in one sitting.
2) makes the intestine smaller so it absorbes less of the fats, callories, etc.
It will take about 3-4 days in the hospital and 4-6 weeks to recover.
After everything is healed up there are no physicaly restrictions at all. Only food restrictions, mostly sugars.
Sugars and some other foods (vary person to person) will cause "dumpping syndrome" shich makes you feel like shit, possibly puke, diharea, etc. I am
told this "restriction" goes away after 2 years or so.

Looks simple enough... tell the doctors to give me a call if they have any problems. I can cut on the dotted line!
