Been a long time....but finally healthy and happy after RNY!!
I used to LIVE on this site while I was awaiting surgery and right after. I had surgery July 2004. I know long time ago right! It's been a long and winding road since then. Ups, downs, sickness, and I'm finally healthy and HAPPY!! I thought if I could help anyone avoid the pitfalls I fell into, it would be worth it! I was over 300lbs my day if surgery now I'm maintaining 115!!! If I can find some before pics I will post them.I have always hated pics of myself.
I have some good info to pass along.. ..some do's and dont's. If you're interested in hearing more, let me know.
Please do pass along your wisdom! I start my 2 week pre-op diet tomorrow, so I need advice from the veterans!
Hi Laura!
Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!! Although I had issues, I will never regret having WLS I always tell people the only thing I regret was waiting so long to have it!
A whole new world is about to open up for you ?
As far as being a veteran, I can share some amazing information with you. I would have saved myself a lot of misery had I known quite a few things earlier on. If you would like to shoot me an email, I would be happy to share with you [email protected]
I look forward to hearing from you!
Best,
Michelle
