Welcome to Bariatric Bytes.
If you're here, odds are you've either had bariatric surgery, are preop and planning for
it, or are just curious about it. I am a bariatric patient, currently 4+ years
postop and have lost 230 pounds and am at goal and in maintenance. I hope that what
I have posted here can be of some help to you or someone you know.
I hope you enjoy the new look
as we begin to celebrate fall and winter. I LOVE this time of year and wanted to
reflect that. I'm also wanting to reflect more of my feminine side. My
apologies in advance to the gentlemen who visit this site. I hear real men DO like
pink. *grin*
For new visitors: the
easiest way to navigate the site is to use the drop down menu to the left of each
page. If you're browser doesn't support this method of navigation, I've also
supplied a text directory. Just click the little snowman on the left to access
it! There is also a site search feature in the upper corner of every
page. It is great for finding recipes or articles on my website.
For all visitors: I'd
like to remind all visitors that what you read on my site is merely my opinion.
While I do research extensively, the articles are my opinions based on that research - and
as with all things, opinions will vary. Please ALWAYS discuss anything related to
your health and well-being with your physician and/or nutritionist (also called a nut) and
don't ever substitute my opinion for professional advise.
About our advertisers,
contests, donations: Bariatric Bytes does not accept paid advertising or
kickbacks. The banners you see, are up as a courtesy. This is not an
endorsement of any business; just companies and/or people I personally like.
I am not currently accepting any new contest sponsors or banners at this time and honestly
do not plan to any time in the near future. We do not link swap or participate in
affiliate programs. ALL contests are now sponsored by "Bariatric Bytes and
Friends" (anonymous sponsors, who donate freely to help keep my contest alive).
I want to personally thank everyone who has ever donated to Bariatric Bytes and please
know we do not 'rely' on or solicit donations. This website and its contests are a
labor of love on my - and my husband's - part and we will continue this project so long as
we have the resources to do so.
Newsletter/contest news:
All contests and newsletters are suspended at this time to do time constraints. I
hope to continue them in the future.
Thank you,
~Dame Tooter
