Surgery monday jan 23 at 530 A.M and im nervous
I hope it has all gone well for you!
My first day after surgery was challenging, but after I got home from the hospital, things went so well.
My doctor assured me that the RNY surgery is safer than gallbladder surgery and safer than a hysterectomy, and both of those are very common surgeries.
Come back here for support! It is the best place I know for that.
You should be nervous, it is a big deal. That said, I am SO GLAD I did it. I wrote my 20-yo daughter a letter just in case, and made sure things were said. That is normal, too. By now you are already in your surgery. Good for you! It is life changing. I had lots of abnormalities before surgery. They are mostly gone now, with a nearly 70 pound weight loss. You will feel so much better so soon. Rough couple of weeks and then... hurray!
Wishing you a speedy recovery, let us know how you are doing when you can.
