FOLLOW UP FROM THE RNY THAT DIDNT HAPPEN ON OCT 30TH DUE TO EXCESSIVE SCAR TISSUE TOO NEAR MY LIVER.. well I saw my bariatric dr today. he says Im healing good from the attempted procedure :) I see him again on january 4th, he will then set me a surgery date for february. They will try to do the bypass laproscopically. they will make one or two small incisions and insert the camera tools and check the scar tissue. IF the scar tissue is still too much and too hard they will then have to do an open procedure. full incision down my belly. he was concerned that the possibility and likelyhood of the open procedure would bother me. HA, I say... by this point in time I told him I didnt care if he had to open me up and turn me inside out, I just want this DONE and over.   so, yes , I am feeling a bit more positive than last week about the whole mess. its going to be a long couple months doing the waiting game again, but, if I have some date to look forward to it is easier.   thank you for all your wonderful support and caring..

 Good Luck..    I know a lady that had the open RNY and did just great. I wouldn't worry to much. You'll do just great. Shari

Hi Cathy~ I was wondering if you got your RYN scheduled with Dr Wasco?  You probably don't remember me, I am an old band patient of Dr Georgeans and Dr Wasco's. I had to have my band removed just about a year ago now due to erosion and a slip. I was looking through some old posts and came across this one and was wondering how you are doing. I hope all is going well.  If you don't mind, let me know how you like the RYN and how your surgery went. Thanks, Barb
