CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That is an AMAZING accomplishment!! It definitely inspires me as I am just 3 days pre-op. I can't wait until I hit the 100 pound loss mark!! Best wishes to you on your continued success!! Tammy

Congrats on being home! I, too, have JUST had my surgery this week. I had 2 nights in the hospital but am home now. I have to admit, it's kinda scary being home and doing this "on my own" without the drs and nurses looking over my shoulder. But I think if we all lean on each other a bit, we'll all get each other through this. God bless us, every one! Hurray for us! Karyl

I had lap RNY on 11/9/07 and went back to work at my desk job on 11/20/07 with no problems. I was a little tired and had some occasional tightness, but it was tolerable.
