Surgery done on Monday, the 23rd
I now am a RYN patient!! LOL! I have to tell you though, it sure was a tough decision for me to make! I think in the end, I just sort of had to take a leap! Someone had said on here to me to take "a leap of faith" and I can't tell you how much that helped me!! I just got it once I read that! I had done all my research, had gathered all my doc's advice, input from RNY patients that I know and talked with my whole family. I have been open and honest with everyone through this whole revision process and then when it came right down to the time of surgery.....NERVESand FEAR hit me like a ton of bricks!! I guess it is true, that we all need someone to tell us "it's gonna be okay" and I am thanking all of you for providing that for me!
So far....so good. I had an excellent hospital experience! Those nurses at Mt. Carmel West in Columbus, Ohio were some of the nicest people I have ever met! What a great way to start out with this whole RNY experience! And I believe things are only going to get better! I feel better every day and have not had much pain, only gas discomfort, but nothing I can't handle. I even worked a little today, typing Coroner reports for my doc. I am have my drain out on Tues., the 31st and that will also help "normalize" things even more! Yay!
I am truly excited to get started down this path!
