Well, yesterday was the big day. It was really rough yesterday afternoon. However, it got better throughout the night. I am at home now. I am still a little sore. I believe the medicine and walking with help. Looking forward to it tomorrow. When I was weighed yesterday prior to surgery I was 296.5 lbs. My highest weight was 325. My weight last recorded at the doctor's office was 301. Kiss those 300s good by. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers

Topic: RE: Dr. Boyce
Both had used the practice for their RNY as well (just wanted to put that out there). One lady had complications with her RNY as well and needed the revision not just for additional weight loss but to fix some internal stuff - she was 3 years out from RNY and is now happy happy happy. The other was 6 years out from RNY. I know that one of them is a stay at home mama and I'm not sure if the other works or not - I'm so sorry i can't give you more!
Be happy.
Topic: RE: Dr. Boyce
Thanks KittenLove! You did say that they were revised from RNY to DS right? Do you know if they had any complications and how long before they were able to go back to work? I got an email from one lady that said that she had some complications with her revision.

Topic: RE: Hell No!
hi there .i just wanted to say good luck. i moved here from cal in 2009 and i had roux n y in california in 2006 i lost almost 275lbs but since then i put on some weight back , not happy about it but ,being bipolar and manic depression illness doesnt help either. but im still glad i had it. my surgeon before i moved here i had my 3 yr follow up and thats when i came clean with him that i am dealing with a massive case of bipolar illness and manic depression he goes if i knew you had this before the surgery you wouldve never had it, i go i know thats why i didnt say anything, i wanted this surgery and because i had to have a knee replacement or i would be in a wheel chair today. but i took my fear of gaining weight back after the surgery to a not good place .so now im trying to lose . but i wanted to say good luck and i hope one day i can meet in person some people who have had surgery or going to have surgery ,like support groups i dont see any here to much where i live. i found one thats in chattanooga tn, but im hoping to meet people and get some support. i need it badly .
nice to meet you via intenet .
