I wish you the best of luck. I too will have my surgery this month on the 15th. It's exciting to finally be so close to the date. I'm feeling anxious and excited at the same time. I cannot wait for the results. It is so true what you said so many people are getting this done. It's like having a second chance at life!
Take care.

Topic: WLS 10/17/07
I am getting RNY at Barix Clinic in Langhorne, PA. It's amazing to me how many thousands of women have had this procedure. OH is priceless! It is comforting to have people to support me any time day or night and they all understand because they have all been there. May God bless all the surgeries in October!

Hi Brenda,
My day is next week on the 17th. I know how you are feeling. I am finding it hard to sleep. I am wishing I could just skip over the surgery and recovery and learning how to eat again part and go right to four months post-op!!!! I know it will be worth it though and there is a lot of good people on OH to help us through. I will say a prayer for you for Friday.

Topic: Do I need an unfill????
I had my 3rd fill a week ago,since then every solid thing I eat regergitates (sry,I know thats yucky to share)and I can barely get anything down UNLESS it is something I shouldnt be eating,like ice cream,mash potatoes,or really soft food,when you are on a high protein diet as you guys all know, you cant eat those soft foods.
Since my surgery- by the end of the month before my docs apt. I can always tell Im needing a fill and so I want to try to just wait this one out,Im afraid they will think Im over reacting but in the same token, Im scared I will damage something having to spit up every time I eat a solid item of food.I cut everything into very tiny pieces,and I chew the heck out of it so Im not sure what is going on??Any of you guys went through this too? What should I do??
Thanks,

Topic: RE: i don't know if it is normal
Hola,
Mis padres son de Puerto Rico pero nací aquí en Nueva Jersey. Yo todavía no me hecho la cirugía. Tengo la fecha del 15 de Octubre. Pero mi hermana se hiso el gastric bypass en Febrero y todavía vomita cuando ella come demasiado rápidamente o come algo que contiene mucho azúcar. No creo que sea normal esto que te esta pasando.
Por qué no llamas a tu doctor de cirugía. Es todavía muy temprano para que tu nuevo estomago se te amplie de 2 onz. a 4-6oz que dicen que pasa después de un año. Tal vez tu doctor te hizo un estomago grande? Yo en Tu lugar llamaría el doctor cuanto antes. Dejame saber que dice el doctor.
¡Cuidate Mucho!
Sandy
P.D Voy a traducirlo por si alguein tiene otra opinion.
TRANSLATION:
My parents are from Puerto Rico but I was born here in New Jersey. I still havn't done the surgery. It is set for October 15. But my sister had the gastric bypass in February and still throw up when she eats too rapidly or eats something that contains a lot of sugar. I do not believe that it is normal this that is happening to you Why not give a call to your surgery doctor. It is still too earlyfor your new pouch to enlarge from the 2oz top the 4-6oz they happens after one year. Maybe your doctor left you with quite a big pouch. If I were you I'd call the doctor as soon as possible.
Take Care!

Hola Sandra,
Como has estado? Me encanta tu nombre, es igual al mio. What surgery did you get? The band or the bypass?
