Countdown to Surgery
Alright! I leave bright and early April 30 and have surgery on May 1. This surgery is actually a revision and I will be so happy when it's done. I had RNY about 10 years ago. I did great- lost the weight and became an athlete for the first time in my life! Then about a year ago I started getting major pain and discomfort that went away/lessened when I ate. A short while later I found myself feeling famished for the first time in a long time. And I was hungry ALL THE TIME. I was miserable. It turned out I had an ulcer that broke through my pouch. Ulcer is healed now and I have a post surgery plan for ulcer avoidance in the future, but I gained a ton of weight in a short time. 
Since my insurance sucks and didn't cover the original surgery, a revision certainly isn't covered, I'm off to Mexico to repair my RNY.
I healed very quickly from the first surgery and I desperately hope I heal well from this one... In particular because I am a business owner and could only get 6 days off after the surgery. Anyone return to work so soon after their surgery?
