WOW! You think? My Nutritionist says that we are aloud 14g of sugar ,But I think that I probably have more then that xoxoxo Rosie

I agree with some that posted here. When I was 1-2 weeks out I regretted everything.But on Tuesday it will be 1 month. i've lost 40lbs and 2 dress sizes since i started this.I can walk better and i have more energy.I would do this all over again where before I said I would never do this again.I had the surgery for both reasons,to lose weight and to be healthier,which I am feeling now. I would do the same procedure(RNY) again,i've heard stories about the others.The only thing I didnt like was the liquid diet plan and the pain after the OP. The first 2-3 weeks is very hard. xoxo roser

Hi Indie! Here are my answers to your very interesting post... 1.) Since I get very sick with any type of sugar, I would have to say that NEVER getting to have ANY type of cake or pie (other than special sugar free low carb things) is really a bummer. I turned 40 on 5/13, and I really would have loved to have a little piece of birthday cake - I mean as a special treat. But I am learning to live without these things entirely, because getting so sick is just not worth it. 2.) Well, before my surgery I couldn't walk and I was always really ill. So, if you are saying that my SIZE and weight would not change, but my HEALTH would improve, then yes I still would. I mean, if you can't walk, then you might as well give up, you know what I mean? Now, I can run, climb, jump, and I can also finally breathe very easily. 3.) While I truly believe that all forms of WLS have their own share of successes, I would say that I would still choose the RNY - especially since RNY has the larger track record of a better successfull permanent weight loss, when compared to other procedures such as the lapband. 4.) I wish I had been better prepared for the hernias (I had an open surgery and I have developed hernias along the incision), and that they were more common than I thought. Also, I wish I had been better prepared for the sheer amount of skin that would be hanging around my waist - I am now well past my goal (goal was 200, I am at 170), and the skin really puts a damper on it. Also, I wish I was told that I would have this horrible mental thing of seeing myself as such a fat person still in the mirror (no matter how much weight you lose, when you have so much skin hanging, you can't help but feel fat). I am having plastics finally on 9/21, so I hope this will help with that problem. Also, there are times when my dumping was SOOOO horrendous and painful, not just the usual nausea but really bad pain, caused by the stupidest of foods (don't always assume that a food is "safe" - different foods affect different people in different ways) - just a few of the things that come to mind. There you go, I hope this helps a bit. Take care! Michael

I felt the same way and my Dr made me wait 1 year to schedule the reversal. I waited the year, still did not feel good and had lots of problems, I waited another 6 months because I was scard to go though the reversal also. After 2 years I am glad I did not have the reversal, but, I know tht if I were to still feel the same way I had, I would reverse the RNY. It is not for everyone. Good luck to you, may God bless you...
