@noreenf, The name of the Facebook private page for discussion of issues about Gastric Bypass surgery is, Gastric Bypass Support - We Journey Together. You send a request to the page and you will be approved I'm sure. I'm one of the administrators of the page. It's a great place for discussion of any issues or questions people have before or after the surgery. People who have struggled with keeping the weight off go to the page to get encouragement for getting back on track. This may be very helpful for you during your work to lose the excess weight you have put on. I'm behind you all the way and hope you will find this helpful.
