Hi, it's me again, Terri anybody already had surgery lapriscopic RNY with advice? I have 3 children, and a husband who works alot! how hard was it for you. my baby is 11months old any advice? oh yea i also heard you will never eat nothing after you have surgery, i haven't seen the dietion yet well i'll go on that note!!! thanks to all who have wrote me, and good luck to you too! Terri

Hey there Terri! I just had surgery on Sept 1, and yes, I'm here typing and encouraging others. I am a single mom of 3 children, ages 5½, 4, and 2½... yes, every 18 months. My X husband picks them up and takes them to daycare, and picks them up afterwards for me, my mom and sister are going to come down for weekends and help me handle the children also. When the X isn't helping, I have friends stepping in, everything just fell into place for me, I'm sure it will for you also, just remember, you won't be able to live your sweet children into your lap for a good month at the least. The 11 month old, depending on size and squiggliness, will probably be the least of your worries, my baby (2½) is active and rough and tumble, he ran right into my belly today and I screamed... he's a little scared of me. Ask the hubby to cut back hours for a while, ask family, friends, church memebers, etc... for help... believe me, you need to ask for help during this if you have small children. HUGS email me if you wish! Rachel
