I know a few that have had gastric bypass stuff as well. And, most of them seem to be malnourished . . . Thankfully I don't have that issue! I am concerned about having my abdominal muscles sewn together, but my doctor (not the surgeon) said that it should actually make my core stronger. I just kept picturing myself trying to do a sit-up and the stitches all popping down the middle!

I have been overweight my entire life, starting at age 4. And then I lost weight and have a saggy body. I don't know anything else. But from those I've talked to, no one has had any regrets . . .
