Sucessfull Surgery

I had my RNY surgery on April 12th at Shands Hospital in Gainesville, FL. Go Gators! I couldn't be more pleased with how it went. I had almost no pain from the start. Now 6 days out I have absolutely no pain at all. I had no trouble eating or drinking after the surgery. At the hospital they made me drink OptiSource protein drinks and they were awful. Once I got home I started with Premier Protein drinks and I love them. I'm just so happy that the wait is over with and now I'm officially on the losers bench. I have much sympathy for those who have had problems with or after the surgery. I know I'm only 7 days out and bad things can still happen, but so far so good. Kudo's to my surgeon, Jeffrey Friedman and the staff at UFHealth.

That's great news. The vast majority of people have few or no problems, so it's good you're one of them. Check in and let us know how it's proceeding.

Congratulations! I hope to join you soon .....

So glad things are going well.  On with your new life.  :)

So glad you are doing well. Congrats!
