Revision on 02/19/18

Hey all :) Just a quick post to say hello. I've been mostly offline aside from Facebook since my surgery in February. I had developed a large hernia and wasn't able to function well. Finally got it fixed, and I feel 100x better. Despite having a longer RNY, all my labs came back good, though iron is slowly going down. They are keeping an eye on it, though I might add that into my supplement rotation again.

I've also had absolutely no GERD since 2018's revision. I don't regret it for a moment, and I feel better than I have in years. I hope you are all doing well!

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Glad you are feeling better!! It's funny what we live with and don't always realize how bad it is until we're on the other side!

Surgery recovery is always longer than I think it should be. I'm glad you are on the other side of that. Thanks for popping in.

Good to hear from you Donna - and I'm glad to hear your surgery is firmly in the rear-view mirror.

Don't be a stranger!

I'm glad you are doing well Donna. It's always good to see you.

It always surprises me that people adapt to gerd, but once it's gone, it's life changing.
