I had gastric bypass, along with my husband on April 30, 2015. We've each lost around 115 pounds each ... it fluctuates. asks me the same thing: "You're bound to feel better, right?" The truth is: between my husband and myself, we've had 8 surgeries since then. He's kept working, but I've been bed-ridden nearly the whole time. I would definitely do it again if given the choice, but it is not a cure-all and it is a major life changing experience. My husband has suffered the most. He feels it has stripped him of his identity.
