Surgery date
Hi, Brenda--
I can relate (my surgery is one week after yours).
If it's any comfort, my roommate had the open RNY in Jan. 2001 and she said she was not in much pain in the hospital. The most important things she has taught me is to eat properly (i.e. recommended foods) and exersize regularly. Of course, with food some of it is trial and error.
May our trials be successful and our errors few!
