NSMC Surgical Weight Management is honored to introduce two blogs by our patients.

"Amy's Journey" describes the months leading up to and the months after Amy's successful gastric bypass surgery, which took place in July of 2007.

Patients considering having gastric bypass surgery will find this blog not only beautifully written but informative, honest and inspirational. It records a range of details, including adjustment post-surgery to eating smaller portions and the emotional highs and lows that some experience.

Another patient, Jennifer, has just begun a blog describing her experience with gastric banding surgery at NSMC. Jennifer's blog will share details relevant to the lap band surgery, which typically results in weight loss at a more gradual pace than gastric bypass.
