Hey All Im an October Loser Too!

Hi All, My name is Kari George and I live in Amarillo Texas. I had my WLS on October 7th I had the Open RNY and have done relativly good....no medical issues... just a couple of emotional days and minor pain. All in All I am happy so far... Glad to have found you guys... my October siblings....

Hi Kari, Sounds like everything is gong well for you too. Did you have open RNY? How has your weightloss gone. Any tips for eating 2 weeks out? Just wondering since it is so fresh in your mind. It's cool that they have a Oct.surgery message board. It's nice to keep in close contact with everyone going thru it at the same time. Anyway, glad your well. Best wishes for a great weight loss.

Yes I had the open RNY.... and am glad that I did... my surgeon actually guaranteed no leaks doing it this way. I was in the hospital for five days. So far I am down about 23 pounds and have found that a few things make me throw up... I can't swallow eggs of any form... tried several... they get stuck and then i throw up.. other than that I am on the wonderful cottage cheese phase.... not too bad... but a little tiring... still getting used to listening to my pouch.

Oct 5th here, open DS. Down about 23# so far. Food is interesting, isn't it?! Thrown up twice so far, think I am eating too fast. It is hardly worth the effort when you can only have 2-3 bites!! I really wanted an open procedure too, as I felt safer knowing the visualization was better...they even noted an ovarian cyst!!! wow, now that is a good physical!!
