Sorry for not communicating with everyone for such a long time. My weight is now 190 lbs.
I am now in a size 34 pants, haven't been there since I was a teenager. Started to the gym last year and I have continued in that for several months. B12 got really low and so I started injections. Not a big fan but no choice on that. Struggling with the vitamins and taking them "most" of the time. Found some gummies in WalMart that are easier to take.
I have problems with severe diarhea and I take immodium daily that seems to stop it. My biggest problem is severe tailbone pain that seems to be typical of GB patients. I also have severe lower back pain that stopped shortly after the surgery and then started again last year. I continue to struggle with sleep apnea and intend to do a sleep study later in the year.
I can now eat normal sized meals with no problem. But, milk and sweets send me over the edge. I have a problem with early morning meals but that goes away after the first meal. If I eat that first meal fast or sometimes without any reason at all, I get sick. Plus, I can't eat a lot early in the morning.
My wife says I have a different personality and I have changed. Not sure. I am slower to anger and my disposition is a lot more mellow. Last week, I went on vacation and was able to climb one of those fake rock walls at the amusement park. I got higher than my 9 year old son. So, I am in good shape now.
Honestly, the whole surgery thing is a distant memory and now I am just living life.

I really appreciate your honest & sraightforward info. I have been contemplating bypass for some time now. I started the process several months ago & ran into insurance probs, which then caused me to 'chicken-out'. I now wish I'd stuck with it. However, I am still nervous about starting the process over. Anyway I read your whole story & it was just what I needed. I know you were hoping your story would help someone & it now has... thanks!
Being in good shape will help you achieve many bodily activities unlike before but follow a middle path...don't exert too much and start all of a sudden...let the body accept the changes slowly and gradually.
