Topic: RE: Prior c-section to lapRNY?

First of all, Congrats on your surgery date! I am just one day ahead of you. Anyway, I have heard from over 40 people who have had c-sections prior to lap/open RNY and all but one said that their c-section was much worse. For me, I am thinking that's awesome b/c I have had extremely easy recoveries from my c-sections, so exactly like you said, it RNY is easier than a c-section, I am flying high and stylin! Are you on a preop liquid diet? My md does not require one but I am doing one to get my liver as small as possible before surgery, to lessen the chances of any problems. Let me know how you are doing!

Topic: HOLY CRAP

I was curious as to if and how much weight I might have lost since surgery. So I had my SO drive me out to the folks house because we don't have a scale. I am down 20 yes I said 20 pounds. I was feeling miserable because I don't feel any different.

I can't wait for my post-op appt because Doc said in a stern voice 'Laurie we are getting off to a slow start here." Because I was sleeping all the time. Boy is he going to be suprised. I wouldn't have slept so much but I had a horrible headache and the nurses kept coming in and telling me to push the pain button. I did so only to find out that was what was cause of my headaches.

Dang I am excited now.

I was just wondering the same thing. I did fine with 2 c-sections and figured if RNY was less pain/discomfort/soreness than the sections, I'd be stylin'.

LOL You know I so often go by either "momma" or "patrick's mom" that I forget my real name. But if you are curious it is Ellen and I will remember to sign with my name from now on. I usually have a siggy set up for messageboards but I haven't bothered here.

Thanks for the the tip about the scale!

Hi: Does "PATRICKSMOM" have a first name? :>) I ordered a digital scale off AMAZON.com and it is a WW brand, clear and a very nice one and not expensive at all. I think I paid $25.00 for it. KUDOS on your weight loss.
