Woohoo!
So 8 days after my RNY I am down 5 lbs after losing the 10 lbs of fluid and gas and I reached a weight I haven't seen in 25 years. But better than that? I saw my family Dr today and he took me off all my meds for high blood pressure and diabetes. He is so confident in my progress that he erased the prescriptions from the computer. I thought he was going to hug me he was so happy that I finally got the surgery and am doing well. I am no longer on any meds other than the vitamins and supplements we all have to take!
