1+ years ago, i had (what I thought) was RNY. Today I had an X-ray done at the Chiro's office and was surprised to see a white circle aroud the area where my stomach is. I have e-mailed my dr's office, so I hope to hear from them, but I'm not expecting it. Is it possible that I had a FOBI? I have done remarkably well with this surgery.. Im a size 4 now!! My docs website (www .gastric band. com) says he only does lapband and RNY. I know I didnt have a lap band since Ihave no port.

Some of you may have seen my previous posts re:
What are you doing FOR yourself instead of TO yourself.
Someone recently asked me about that and I told them that this is a relatively new was of looking at things for me as it relates to my choices around food and activity.It has helped me see my glass as half full instead of half empty many times. When I'm thinking in terms of something I want to eat and would otherwise feel 'deprived', when I look at not having something, or having a 'healthier' choice, it is so much easier to do so, when I am choosing that option as doing something 'FOR' myself.
A few of the things I now do FOR myself include:
Going for a walk
Parking in the shade no matter how far away from the store it is
Eating my protein before indulging in carbs
Selecting the grilled over the fried version of whatever I'm choosing to eat
What do you do FOR yourself?

I don't want to make you think I have all the answers because I definitely don't; but I think you should also post this question on the Roux en Y forum as well because most fobi post ops post there due to the fact that the surgeries are basically the same if you minus the silastic ring that is added with the fobi. I am sure you will get a lot more responses there.
I am hoping some one can help with a question. I had a hysterectomy May 27th. I did very good with my recouperation. I have had people tell me that it took them weeks or even months to recoup after a hysterectomy. I was feeling really with in a week of surgery. My surgery was done via laperscopic with incisions. Now for my question, Has any one had both presigers done as will soon. Is the recouperation from gastric bypass any where near the recouperation from a hysterectomy.
I really would love others womens experiences.
