3 days post-op, loving life!

Had my RNY on the morning of the 25th.  The discharged me on the 26th and I am home with my family and LOVING LIFE!  It feels so great to be home and I am doing really well.  I am sure I will have some rough moments in the next few months but for now I am doing great.  I am really really grateful for this second chance.

Congrats!

 Great! I like to hear stories like this! I am just beginning my journey. My first appt with the surgeon is Thursday. A bit anxious but excited too. How long before surgery? I've heard anything from 3-6 mos. I dont wanna wait that long!

I really spent a lot of time on the forums before surgery just gathering info and learning about what it is like.  But I was often reading about problems and complications, which do happen.  but it is nice to know that it doesn't always happen that way.  I waited about four months.  I am lucky that I was able to take every single appt they offered, even one at 6am, good grief.  That helped me move right along.  The four months was also good because I used it to really clean up my diet and get really fit.  I swam across Lake Champlain (3 miles) and did some big hiking before surgery and I think that has really contributed to how well I have done.  I am nine days out and went hiking yesterday and feel nearly completely fine.  Good luck!  Learn every thing you can and make sure you get as fit as possible before surgery!
