HI all,
Great news, I had the RNY this past Friday and am out of the hospital trying to sip and walk. I was nervous up until day before thinking the insurance would pull me back again at the last minute but all was fine.
All went well with surgery - just under 2 hours - and I feel great, much better than I thought I would! Now to get rid of that pesky gas and make sure I drink enough/often enough. I am thrilled it is done, now i was thinking why didn't I do it before!? I think i was not ready then....so keep up the journey and progress all, don't give up!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Welcome to the Loser's Bench! The best piece of advice I can give you is Don't compare yourself to others! Just like every pregnancy is different so isn't every WLS! Also, TAKE MEASUREMENTS! When you feel like you are not losing weight you most likely are losing INCHES!!! Good Luck and keep us informed!
