Wishing you the best of luck on your surgery. I am now 5 days out from having surgery. Make sure that you walk, walk, walk, it will get that gas moving and trust me you will have plenty of gas.
No, I got the Lapriscopic RNY! I was considering it but found out that my insurance did not cover it. I think they do now, but knowing me and my eating habits, I think that the RNY was the best decision for me.
