Sometimes I wonder if I am crazy for doing this. But I think October will be hard to get through then I think it will be easier to manage the kids as I loose the weight. I need to get healthy!

Topic: RE: Sleeve or Gastric Bypass

I am scheduled for RNY on October 10th, 2008, in Monterrey, Mexico, with Dr. Rumbaut. There is a possibility that he will do the Sleeve once he gets into the area...due to scar tissue from past surgeries. Whichever happens...I have decided will be fine for me. I have researched them both and am ready for either one. My sister had the RNY 6 months ago and has lost 100 pounds. She is a new person...better health, more energy.

I need a couple of buddies to keep me on track. Any hope???

Hugs,
Brenda

It's crazy, isn't it??? I look at all the before and after pics and I am floored...

I am so happy for you! Maybe we can stay in touch and I'll know a little better what to expect!

You're welcome :) I didn't have an angel either and I'm not sure as to what they are supposed to do?! :)

Taking one day at a time.

Looking back on things, I really wish I brought my own pillow! You'll need a good one to hold against your belly when you start coughing to get the stuff out of your lungs. A good robe and some comfortable slippers/shoes cause you'll be up and walking soon after surgery. Just remember the more you get up and move about the quicker you'll start feeling better :)
