i am in so much pain. also i have a lot of pressure on my stomach and i feel really bloated. is this normal with open rny? how much longer until the pain subsides? i would just like to be able to sit up and down without moaning or squealing.

I had RNY on April 20th......I too had my head spinning so much I couldnt sleep the night before....but you know it really wasnt bad at all.....they give you good drugs, before you know it you are up and walking and on your way home.....It is a life long decision, but I think for those of us who have got to this point in life, can handle it and yes, it will all be worth it.  I will be praying for you to have a smooth surgery and recovery......see you on the other side!

well.....i thought i was doing great until i decided to leave my house on day #5......I caught a stomach virus.......I thought I was dying last night, then ended up in hospital on iv fluids, potassium, zofran, and toradol.  And... I am still having diarrhea... I sure hope i dont mess up any work from my RNY with all this intense straining and cramping, just cant seem to keep anything down

Tomorrow is my RNY and my head is spinning.  I know the decision to do this surgery is the right thing but the nerves are getting me.  I know it will all be fine and in the long run it will all be worth it.

I am kindda bummed that I'm the last one on my surgeon's schedule tomorrow.  I check in at 2:30 and surgery is at 4:30 IF he's not running late. 

HHMM What should we call me. We will say my moms "friend". I cant stand to call him a boyfriend to her. Anyway i was at my moms tonight. She lives across the parking lot from me. We live in a complex. My other sister lives across the other way from my mom. So i drove to my moms to pick up money for what she needed from the store. I was going to grab my older sister while i was there. This ass says to me Why would you drive here. Maybe if you fu----g walked you wouldnt of needed the lapband. I said i have to go to the store. He says walk to the store you need the exercise. EERR i have never disliked someone as much as him. I just went in the bathroom and cried. I was picked on all my life for being overweight. By friends and my grandmother. I am trying to better myself and i have to hear him throw stuff in my face..eerr people like him disgust me. Sorry i just needed to vent. Although i knew there were going to be people knocking me for my decision
