Just wanted to introduce myself....

Hello everyone. I am Andrea, will be 38 in a few days, married, 3 lovely daughters and have been overweight, more so and more so over the past 14 years until I reached the point of morbid obesity. I had RNY with Dr. Cerabona on 11/11 and I am doing well! No pain, no pain medication since 24 hours after surgery, no vomiting, no nauseau since getting over the effects of the anesthesia. Today I went for my 1st post op with Dr. Cerabona (lost 13 lbs wooo hooo!) and boy am I looking forward to being able to introduce other things into my diet, even if they are pureed or blenderized!! LOL Looking forward to getting to know you all. God bless you and keep you. ~Andrea

CONGRADULATIONS ANDREA I HAD MY SURGERY ON NOV 9TH AND AM ALSO DOING GREAT. NO PAIN, NO VOMITING AND AM ABLE TO GET DOWN ALL THE FOOD IM SUPPOSED TO.

WHO WOULD HAVE EVER KNOWN THAT BEENING CALL A BIG LOSER COULD BE A GOOD THING, HAPPY THANKSGIVING. KAREN

Andrea, Congratulations on having such a smooth surgery and recovery! Doesn't it feel good to be on the other side? I had mine this month too, and while I'm dealing with "head hunger" at least I'm not physically hungry! THAT is a real blessing. Hope you get to have other "flavors" and textures of food soon! Keep it up, and thanks for updating all of us, lynnie
