Hello fellow weight-loss friends and members. I have had my gastric bypass Roux-En-Y laporoscopic surgery. Even while in the hospital with pain, I silently thanked God for the love He had in answering this prayer for me. I had been wanting to do this for some time and now I will finally become healthy.  The nurses at Shawnee Mission Medical Center on 3 north, were simply incredible, loving, professionals who managed my pain which was minimal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go nurses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My Dr., Dr. Christopher Kowalski was just A-One all of the way as are the lovely and caring office staff of the Kansas City  Bariatric Center; http://www.kcbariatric.com/.  They are so excited for their patients from start to finish which I believe helps patients to realize their weight-loss goals.
For the first 3 weeks post-op, I felt weak and light-headed. But it passed. I am feeling less fatigued these days as I am nearly 1 month post-op. I now walk 30 minutes a day and have lost at least 30 pounds so far. I hope that I can lose even more next month. I want this weight gone like yesterday, although being consistent, compliant, and patient are the keys to success with this type of weight-loss adventure.
