Thanks for your support, my husband has come through his RNY surgery with flying colours so far, he says his pain is a 2-3, he's chewing on ice cubes and feeling great so far. Certainly looks a lot better than I did just out of recovery, lol.

Brian was high risk due to his chronic kidney disease caused by his diabetes. Of course he needs to lose some weight also but only about 45 pounds after finishing Opti-fast.

This surgery should give him another 10 years without dialysis ( we hope).

Our new lives start now.!!!!!!!!!!!

Again, Thank you

Laurie

It was mostly to help with the Chronic Kidney Disease and diabetes, the weight loss will be a bonus.

They do RNY in Cuba (or Mexico...I can't remember which) for patients with a BMI of 30 with diabetes. I walked out of surgery not taking Metformin again.

Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!

I am so glad they would perform this surgery to assist his health.....and Laurie if he ever does require a transplant....now you will also be healthy after your surgery to possibly be a donor....all the best to both of you
