In Reply to: gastric bypass - happy

Did you have the abdominoplasty after the bypass? Isn't that kind of a necessary evil after weight loss anyhow? My SIL had bypass, abdominoplasty, and breast reduction. Then she did her face... She is very happy. Her husband would be too if he wasn't paying for it!!

Glad to hear your bypass went well. Hope you are well now!
