It was fine I was able to drive after 1 week, I'm now almost 1 year post op, lost just over 7 stone, bmi down from 41 to 20, have stayed within 3 lbs weight range for last 3 months, still can't eat much or certain foods without almighty dumping! Hasn't been an easy road but don't regret my...

I had a bypass and took 2 weeks annual leave didn't want to tell work so just got on with it it was fine, mine was done laparoscopically obviously if you have an open operation then you clearly won't be able to drive for 6 weeks x

Welcome to the losers bench hope you soon feel better xx

Good luck you've done so well see you on the losers bench x

My dad was 67 when he had a gastric bypass, he has definitely given himself a new life, no more medications (was on tons) following his weight loss he had bilateral knee replacements his life is unrecognisable now 3 years on and to be honest not only has he got a new life to be honest if he...

My husband was initially against me having my gastric bypass, but took him to meet the surgeon which helped a bit, now I'm half the weight I used to be and have a bmi of 20 he is so pleased I had it done as I am able to be active and healthy

I am also now 8st 3lbs with a BMI of 21.3, my friends and family have gone from wows, and compliments to "oh your too thin" you look ill, and I want to scream at them, I have a normal BMI and could loose another stone and a half and still be a "normal" weight, I have lost 6 stone 11 lbs in 9...

I'm afraid I am a real diet coke addict, I take the lid off and let it go flat for a couple of days and I get the taste but not the fizz, lush!

Good luck Jemima I will be watching your threads with interest, think I'm going to contact my provider, they owe me five minutes of their time seeing as I haven't heard from them since my op 9 months ago! Xx

What is your bmi now Jemima? I'm not loosing rapidly (never have) but still loosing slow and steady, but just would be happy to stop loosing now, still a long way to go until underweight but just happy where I am now x

Thinner Jemma have read through some of your posts, I can't believe what a time you've had! Also can't believe you've ended up with a feeding tube! Can I ask have you stopped loosing weight now? Was it because of the malnutrition they gave you the tube rather than your weight as bmi in the...

I dump with fats and oil!
