Oh Dear............. But it will be worth it in the end, your not that old to need a bypass,are you?? i'm guessing your my age with the 65 reference which if i'm right is pretty scary stuff or is 65 your age NOT year of manufacture

Im 46 Trem and its a gastric bypass put loads of weight on last year because i was on steriods i was heavy anyway through years of working away takeaways and beer although i don`t drink now but thought i will go for the bypass which will be better for me should loose 70% of the amount i am overweight for my height .

Ahh so i was right on the vintage (best year ) but wrong on the Bypass, in thought you meant Heart
I know what you mean about weight tho, i stopped smoking 6 years ago and it kick-started an under active throid problem for me. I put on easily 3 stone before it was diagnosed and i wasnt small beforehand consequence is no matter what i try i cant lose any weight BUT on a plus side with the thyroid stabilised i'm also not putting any on now either.
you going for the Bypass and not the Band then ?? Does that mean vitamans and sh*t for life??

Yes vitamins and sh*t for life and the 70% is the weight i will lose from the weight i am over not total weight and i went for a band to start with but the surgeon said bypass was best for me i have waited over a year for op .

Well Good Luck with it all mate I really hope All goes well for you

[bettyswollocks]

Yeah good luck mate , will be thinking off you when i push those nasty Brussels to one side.

Best of luck mate, im sure it will be ok in the end. My grammy had one 20 years ago and shes pushing 70's now and i dont think anything is stopping her anytime soon.

As for the vitamins and losing weight i suggest you stick to it. My dad had similar situation, but with colon cancer, so he told the doctors to feck off and continued drinking and smoking and putting on weight. good last few months for him, died at 51.
