If you could do it over again...

I was pretty nervous the last couple weeks leading up to surgery and excited all at the same time.  While I'm only 3 weeks post op I can tell you this is the best decision I have made in a very long time.  I had RNY and have been recovering quickly.  I was back to work after only 1 week and am losing weight rapidly.  My mind is also better as I am gaining more and more confidence and self respect daily.  Seriously, I'm on cloud nine. 

I just had RNY one week ago and I am so glad I did that!  Yes, I would keep my procedure.  More importantly, YOU need to do lots of checking around and evaluating before any logical decision can be made.  It took me 6 months to decide which procedure to have, that would work for my eating issues.  Good Luck!  You will do great!

I did my ryn because I was so addicted to sugars that I wanted something that would make me physically ill to ingest sugar.  I had my ryn in 2005 and honestly I have never tested the sugar.  I probably have dumped on too much carbs in other types of foods, but I have set in my mind that for the rest of my life I will not eat sugar.  It just won't happen.

I have found myself very prone to low blood sugar and I have had a baby since my surgery (surprise!) so I graze more than I should but I still have high awareness and I have hopes of getting back to my workouts once life isn't so crazy anymore.
