Hi Sue and Larinda! I'm Brenda and from Powell, WY.  I just had Lap RNY on August 2nd.  I'm soooo excited to find people in Wyoming that have had the surgery!  There are several people in Powell that have had it, and their support is important.  But it's also great to meet and visit with people from around our beautiful state!  I had my surgery in Billings also, Sue!  Dr. Kathryn Hatch did my surgery with Dr. Bentzel assisting. 

My surgery went very well and I felt GREAT the first week, even into the second week.  I'm not into the third week and having difficulties.  I did really well with the full liquid diet, it seemed.  But into the pureed foods, I've had some problems.  Strangely enough, not with the food, but with the protein drinks.  I can't seem to drink one without it nauseating me.  Any advice?   Way to gooo on your success!!  I hope that you both do very well with your complete recovery and continued weight loss!   Hey Sue, Greybull isn't that far from Powell...It would be fun to meet!  Let me know if you're interested ok?   Have a super day! Brenda
