Gastric bypass surgery
 

Well I did it, I had the sergery on the 9th and came home on the 11th. The surgery went real smooth due to the fact of how good I did dropping 40lbs before hand. I just wanted to let you guys know I am fine and healing fast, Thank You for all your prayers.

I also fixed my fuel restriction problem right before the surgery I got to take the boat out for a quick test run. I replaced the Main fuel line and removed the screen someone had stuck up inside the pickiup line going inside the gas tank, It was a crappy job and not factory. So now fuel goes from the tank to the new fuel water seperator, and then to a small fuel filter to the fuel pump. New hoses and filters and she runs great WOOT!!!!

:happy:

Hope you heal well my friend.

WRONG SECTION!!!!!!! You have been around long enough to know better! You should have posted in repairs! :haha:

Very good to hear that the surgey went well and you are feeling good. Also congrats on dropping forty before the surgery. How long before you can get back on the water?

Hi jdog hope you have a speedy recovery at times it seems slow wish you all the luck in the world nothing worse than being sick--God bless you and your family

Congrats on both your surgery's! Your on your way now!! I lost 30# before my bi pass, and to date a total of 170!1 I had some issues because of a lot of side illness, but most are all healed up now. It has been 17 months since I had mine.
Most is fixed now except the kidneys which has nothing to do with the surgery .
Wait till you get rid of all your meds!! If you haven't yet? It great not having to drop a handful at a time, or have to watch the clock saying crap I forgot this or that!

Hope the rest of your journey goes well!! Wait till next fishing season you going to have so much engery to fish you wish you did it sooner!!:nice::news::happy:

Glad everything went well!

Congrats jdog and here's to a speedy recovery! :beer:

Hope you have a speedy recovery

Hey J
I had the same surgery in 2000, I went from 356 to 164 in less than a year.
That was too low of weight for me so the DR told me to put on 20lbs, harder than you think to do. I had to increase my meals to 6-8 a day.
We found out my good weight was 185 to 190 so that's what I've been since 2002.
I had a great recovery no problems.

Hope you do well if you have any questions fire away MJ or I can tell you first hand.

Congrats Jdog. Good to see you had the courage and the good sense to fix your problem. :clap: looking forward to seeing some pics of your fishing trips next year. :clap:
