I'm going in tomorrow for my lap rny tomorrow at 10:55. Please keep me and my surgeon Dr. Paul Enochs in your prayers. I appreciate all the support I've received from this board.

I swear that you can hear it from across the room! Anyone else have this? I'm trying to down my first protein shake and having a hard time -- I've had to stop and take a nap. Is this normal? I'm taking really small sips, but it is hurting.

hey marie!!!!im so happy that you are getting the rny! my advice to you is walk walk walk i dont know if you are having the laproscopic rny like i had but you need to walk like crazy because of the bloating feeling and gas, other wise you will feel pretty miserable um the other thing is you might be really sensitive to tastes and to texture after i know i was so watch for that cause the slightest thing could make you puke! i am from seattle origanally but i live in clarkston washington now thats in eastern washington. i totally understand about stuggling with your wieght since being little i did too the other thing i can tell you is that you need to really work out after surgery so you can tighten up any loose skin thats what i have been doing. well i will talk to yuo soon and remember you are awesome!!!! kevin

Congradulation on your WLS. You are on your way to a healthy better you, I am so happy for you. As for the burping, maybe it is because your stomach is empty, But do not take my word for it, I have not gotten my lap band surgery yet. Best Wishes! Demetria
