Melissa, I am also having my surgery on Jully 15th in Atlanta, GA. Good luck and God Bless.

Hi Suzie. I have to laugh because I'm doing the same thing. I had a VBG 8 years ago and had lost 160 lbs I used to weigh 320. The ring in my stomach is not working the way it should so I am having a revision (open RYN) on July 7, 2003. I have gained 40 lbs in the last 3 years (due to 2 pregnancies). But out of them 40 lbs I've gained about 15 lbs in the last couple months. I now weigh 205 lbs. I am eating anything and everything. I think a lot of people do the same thing. I hope with the RYN I don't feel hungry all the time. I can't eat alot at one time due to the VBG but I can eat every half an hour because I think I am hungry. I'm sure everything will work out for you and I will keep you in my prayers.

My surgery will be July 15th at Paulding Hospial in Dallas Ga. Wish Me Luck! Im nervous/scared.
