RNY at Vanderbilt Nashville, TN July 26, 2010 with Dr Clements. All loss is post op
We need to continue to have the lunch bunch as I have not had the opportunity to attend any yet. When were they held (specific day/time of month)? What part of town works best? I guess it will be a little while before I can eat "restaurant food" though since I just went to pureed; but, I love the concept of the lunch bunch and if I need to be the person to set it up I will.

You look FABULOUS.
And all your tips have been so helpful to me. I continue to be encouraged by our call as well. I hope that there will be a lunch bunch meeting sometime this month because I would love to meet everyone in person.
I think I told you my surgery is scheduled for 9/23. I am on the wait list for an earlier date but I have decided that the scheduled date is just fine... my impatience has subsided. I am still trying to get used to my CPAP. They ordered a much more comfortable mask for me but didn't order the headgear with it and it didn't fit with the headgear I already had.... ARRGGGH. I am very frustrated over that.
Take care and stay in touch.

No VSG here either. But I just had RNY surgery last week with Dr. Boyce. He's FABULOUS! The whole staff in the office and the hospital experience was wonderful.

On the journey to losing weight, your friends & family will be the first people to try to knock you off. They do this not out spite, but out of being convicted and knowing they should do the same. It's easier to put someone down for doing the right thing, than for them to actually do it. So at your next family re-union or wherever you are eat your chicken and broccoli and smile when they make jokes about you, they are jealous!

Topic: RE: Upcoming Surgery
I was going to give up for about two hours after I got out of the OR... I just about made my wife cry because I said to her that I was just done. I've had alot of problems just getting to that point and to have to be terrified like I was and in pain like I am now is just frustrating.. but then I started telling myself it was small steps that led me here and small steps can get me past this. I went to the support group today and just sort of talked (the little I can) and listened to people to reassure me this is something I need to do to keep myself from having major medical problems down the road. I've been lucky so far, but if something doesn't change it's not if but when.
I'd much rather you take away from my story not the scary stop in the middle, but the sometimes things don't go quite the way you expect them, but you can overcome them.

Topic: RE: Pre-Op Testing (Hernia)
I found out I have a hiatal hernia during pre-op testing. My surgeon said it's not a big deal and will fix it during surgery.
Topic: RE: Pre-Op Testing (Hernia)
I had a hernia when I had my RNY. It didn't interfere with my surgery I don't see why it would interfere with band surgery depending on the size and exact location.
Mine was umbilical and I had it repaired when I had plastic surgery 2 years later.
