Don't be Afraid, life after Gastric Bypass

Response to a letter I got from Kathy. Life after gastric bypass is not weird, it is fine and you totally get used to it.

People on the more negative side do comment about the effects of nutritional deficiencies. I am going to try as hard as I can to stay up on my vitamins....even if that hurts a bit. Do you have any advice or things to share about your nutrition regimen?

Hey you look amazing and thank you for being so open. I had my heart set on the band as I know people who had it and they are fine. Unfortunately due to a hernia it is not an option. My question is have you had problems with becoming anemic or decificent in anything? I know this is a common problem and one that band patients do not face. Do you have any other health concerns since the surgery?? Would you do the surgery again if you had a choice and know what you know now??

I have enjoyed this video so much! I have been so worried about freaking out after the surgery and watching scary depressing videos about it. But you are so at ease and it really brings me comfort. Because I know this surgery is a step in my life I need to seriously take. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos.

Everyone commenting here talks about gastric bypass surgery like its a cancer patient getting a life-saving surgery. Surely no-one actually NEEDS this surgery, right? If you're so scared of getting surgery then put the cake down and go on a diet and lose weight a normal way. Seems like a typical lazy American shortcut.
