Topic: RE: RNY on June 29th .... YEEHAW
~NEVER SAY NEVER~
I, too will be having the RNY on June 29th. Just like you happypeach, I began my joruney back in Oct. 2008 and was required to fulfill the insurance requirements. At first I had an issue with it and thought of the length of time but had a second thought and began to appreciate the psych eval and the NUT counseling to assure myself of no regrets. Not to mention Ilearned so much about food that weigh****chers and a few of the others dont break down to you. I am excited and nervous!!!! My doc is requiring me to began my liquid diet on June 22 along with preops,etc.
Have anyone began to purchase items that may be needed after surgery? If so, whic items? Also, what are you drinking for the protein shake??
Note: After being approved, I do feel as though I have forgotten all lessons...I think it's just nerves, temporary and it will all return once reality set in after surgery. I have read many posters mention the feeling compared to that of having buyers remorse after return to home and the first week or two out. Iguess we will see :)

Topic: Surgery Went Well
I just got home this afternoon about 3pm. I am feeling a little sore but not too bad considering surgery was yesterday. I will keep you all updated, right now going to get some rest.
Thank you!

Topic: RE: Just had surgery on June 10th
Nancy,
Sorry to hear that you had so much trouble with the lap band. I know that I see it advertized a lot now, though I haven't heard any long term success from it. How are you doing now? I just went in for my one week visit & I'm down almost 20 lbs since the surgery on the 10th. My cousin had hers done in february & is down 80 lbs. I'm curious to see her & to see how much I will loose in the end.
Good luck!
Aimee

Topic: RE: Home
hey Carin. Glad to see that you're home. I too had problems with my breathing due to my asthma. It's just now getting better, but I still have to take my inhalers more than I did pre-surgery. Hang in there....it does get better.
Topic: RE: Frothing...YUCK!
I remember someone suggesting SF peppermint. It's helping me. I too have this awful taste in my mouth.
Topic: RE: June 15ther checking in!
Doing better today. I too still find it difficult to get all that protein in. But I'm trying. The gas is lessening more and more each day. Had some constipation (TMI) but that's gotten better also. Will check in again.
