Hi everyone,

 

I have mostly been lurking around the forums and reading various things. Today I have my surgery consult and had my surgery date set for July 31st. I am super excited but also nervous too. Originally I was thinking of having the sleeve, but decided after speaking with my surgeon to have the RNY.  I have a relative who had the sleeve done about 3 years ago and has been very successful with keeping over 100lbs of weight off. 

I am just looking for any general advice or tips folks may have. This same relative is coming in to be here for my surgery and the week after so I will be fully stocked and ready with all of the proper liquids/foods. I have been experimenting with infusing water to give it some flavor. 

Your thoughts are appreciated in advance!

Woohoo!!! It is so exciting. I remember not long ago getting conformation for mine!! Seemed it took forever to get here, and now I am almost 4 months out. I too had the R&Y and can say I am happy that is what I chose.

Glad to hear you have support coming that knows the ropes.

 

Best of luck to you!
