Aloha from the Nov 06 board

I just wanted to pop in and wish you all well on this wonderful journey, it is a learning experience and a wonderful tool for us, we have been blessed whether you are having open rny, lap rny or lapband it is wonderful, I had Open RNY on the 27th of Nov, after 3 dates were cancelled due to surgeon issues. I wouldnt change it for a minute, I wont lie and say it is always easy I struggle, BUT I would do it again in a sec..I am 2 weeks post op and down a total since pre-op diet is 40 pounds, 25 since surgery...THATS awesome....keep your chins up and your attitude positive and I will save you all a spot on the bench.. Jenni

Hi Jenni, Thanks for the encouraging words. Just in time too. I am so glad you are doing so well. I am going for my RNY Lap I think so far on Jan 15th. Of course I am scared , only of the mortality rate at this point , I lost the fear of the leaks and the clots, but the mortality rate scares me to no end. I just have to trust the surgeon and God almighty. I have so much to live for as we all do. ...the encouraging tone of your post comforts me. Thank you , and stay well.....great job your doing 40 lbs wow! God bless you and happy holidays, Cissy

Take care of you and keep in touch Huggs & Blessings, Lori
