update:rny 1 week ago @after 2 failed lapbands! yahoo!
Yahoo!I'm on the other side!
After having 2 failed lapbands and emergency removal 2 years ago; in was finally ably to get gastric bypass last week!
I was high risk as they didn't know what my insides looked like; they did find that my stomach was completely attached to my liver :(. Thankfully I followed the 2 week liquid diet and when they got inside laproscopically they had room to remove all of the scar tissue build up from previous surgeries.
They then completed my gastric bypass/rny.
Today I am one week out and doing great.
I thank the Lord for the skill of my surgons and am so haooy to move forward day by day in this new body.
I'm now waiting for the anesthesia /surgery weight to drop off..as I haven't had much loss at all since my surgery date.
Any ideas how long that will take?
