Here we go! After 2 yrs of turn downs and inexperience4d surgeons, I finally found a terrific one. I am very hi risk due to the fact this will be my 4th ? open procedure. I will actually have 3 procedures with the rny. I had a 20 yr old VBG which failed miserably! I was set free when Dr Mc Kinney said it was "bad surgery". I am excited and very prepared. Question? How do you change what you "see" in the mirror and what actually "is" after RNY? Are we allowed fruits or lite fruit juices after OR? What about Whey?

Good Morning all, I am so happy I just had to tell all of you. I have lost 100lbs as of today. Down from 342 to 242. I can't seem to find the word to tell you how well I feel. My surgery was May 5th so I am 5 mo and about 3 weeks out. God bless all of you.

Good morning all. Just thought I would share with you that I am down from 342 to 285 in 11 weeks. I feel so much better. I am still having more than my share of throwing up. But I know one of these days it will be over with. I HOPE.

I saw my surgeon Tuesday, I am 3 weeks out. And I have lost 25 lbs. He says I am doing fine. I got a B-12 shot, and The Dr. told me to start trying solid foods. Little bits, and one at a time so I would know what I could eat.

Hi all just aline to let you know I made it. Had my surgery on Monday the 5th. came home from the hospital thursday afternoon. Everything is going ok. I have had a lot of nasea but have sdecided it is from the little pills they gave me to take care of nasea. Because the minute I quit taking them It has more or less left me. Still dealing with drainage. They took the drain out at the hospital but every time I stand up I have a little trickle. Thank you all for your support and prayers,

Dear Gail, Congratulations on your decision to have WLS. I know it is not an easy decision, but it is one that will pay off in the long run! I had my surgery (open distal rny) on August 5th and it is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I have lost 123 pounds so far. You will be in my prayers and remember to rely on all of us who have gone before you! God bless! Sheila Lockhart
