Finally Dec.15th RNY Open

I was supposed to go to the hospital the week before but the doctor is going to a gastric bypass seminar.Dr D Graham couldnt pick a better time to go.So now I am going the 15th of Dec.I am getting really nervous but yet excited also.I have had two friends have a gastric bypass.The one I work with was really the deciding factor for me to have this done.I had thought about it for a few years but was afraid.She had it done first and did so well that after 7 months she has lost 95 lbs.So I am ready to have it done for my health and a pain free me.I don;t know what foods can be pureed.I know we are supposed to stay away from stringy foods.Every one going to have the surgery or already has may God Bless You.We all have to look forward to a new us.Take care,from Karen Hannah Primghar IA

Congratulations on your surgery date. You'll be so glad your having this done. I had mine done Feb. 12th 2003 and have lost 87lbs.Went from a size 24 to a 14. I feel so much better and no longer have to take b/p medicine. Or the sleepapnea machine. I still have23 lbs to goal but after 2 1/2 month plateau it's starting to come off again.Best of Luck on your big day. Will be thinking of you Shirley
