my doctor would deff disagree with that. no offense. ive been seeing him for 4 yrs and he does not advise the sleeve as a first option. why wouldnt he just do the rny to start with? it seems ridiculous for a person to get the sleeve KNOWING theyre going to just switch later. thats one unnecessary surgery. rny is most successful. and im sick of hearing people stress the malnutrition. taking a Vitamin a day doesnt kill you. and i in no way look malnourished. sorry if i sound brash but this is a very sensitive subject and being italian i have strong opinions lol. rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 214/ gw 140

First off, I will never regret getting this surgery. However, this pneumonia and abcess in my stomach have sure got me feeling down. :/ I've developed high anxiety due to this because I have nightmares of what else could go wrong. The picc line creeps me out even though I know its making me better. (a picc line is a long IV that goes to my heart and pumps antibiotics) I have become more religious and I pray alot and I find that it does help. I try not to think "why me" but I cant help it sometimes. Im young and was told that my chance of complications was very low. So of course this is discouraging. And I get cabin fever cause Im home all the time. Even when I do errands with my mom I get self concious because I have to carry around the bag with the pump that has the wire coming out of my arm. ugh. I swear this isnt a pity party. Im just wondering if anyone else had complications that got them down? And what did you do about it? Sorry to rant but I feel this is the only place where people will understand and not judge me. Btw, would anyone want to be texting buddies? Ya know for immediate advice or someone to talk to? Im couped up in the house all day. Id love someone to talk to. *Laurel*

nope im good. still get sore sometimes when i take a deep breath...thats from the pneumonia. but its so much better now. rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 215/ gw 140

Yupp I was admitted tonight. The pneumonia is so bad that more than half my left lung is collapsed and filled with fluid. And there is still an abcess in my belly which they can't figure out. So I keep praying and hoping God gets me through this. The doc will most likely drain my lung tomorrow then he will perform surgery and go in to get a better look at the abcess. Oh this is quite the experience.

the weight loss is all based on what you do. if u want it then u can get it i still cant believe at only 5 weeks out im almost half way to my weight loss goal already rny has been a blessing rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 215/ gw 140

Dont eat peanut butter this early! It doesnt digest well at all. Im 5 weeks out and i tried it and threw it up. Not worth it.

My doctor says the rny is the one you loose the most with. I had the lap band in 2009 and had the conversiln to rny april 6th of this yr. And in 5 weeks ive lost 41lbs. I NEVER lost that quick with the band and he said i wouldnt loose that quick with the sleeve. In the end the rny is the best choice if u need to loose alot of weight. I will never regret this. And the risk of complications is a chance you take with ANY type of surgery. Its worth it to be healthy

I wish i was 155 lbs lol. But good luck to your husband and to you as well....you are no where near being obese but i wish you luck!!

im down 31lbs in my first 3 weeks. i feel like there should be an encouragment forum for those who havent lost much. im extremely happy with my loss in only 3 weeks. but i set small goals for myself. every 5lbs i celebrate. forget these huge 25, 50, 100lb goals.

this is an old thread lol. ive been home for over 2 weeks n im great lol rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 215/ gw 140

this was an old thread. im great now rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 215/ gw 140

well now im down 41lbs in 5 weeks and im doin great now thx rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 215/ gw 140

i cant get Protein shakes down thats why i eat the bars instead. rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 215/ gw 140

yeah the chunky Peanut Butter is good too. tastes like reeses rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 215/ gw 140

theres no sugar in my Protein bars. rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 215/ gw 140

i just tried a Protein bar from whole foods called "think thin" its really good for a meal. one bar has 20g of protein i nibble at it over like 45 min. different flavors. really good. i only mention this cause since surgery just the thought of Protein shakes makes me nauseas. rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 215/ gw 140

i was the same way...chose the band in 2009 cuz i was afraid of rny. now that i have done the conversion to rny i realize there was nothing to be afraid off. my incisions have healed beautifully. the only major complication i had was 2 extra hospital stays due to pneumonia. it left me with the "why me" mentality but im slowly getting better. 40lbs in one month is more than i hoped for. but id say rny deff takes more mental prep than lap band. its such a different experience. good luck with whatever you choose. both are tools and are as successful as u make them rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 215/ gw 140

normal people get "grumbles" in their stomachs when theyre hungry. i never feel hungry since surgery. however, ill get an uncomfortable cramping feeling in what used to be my stomach. ill eat a tiny amount of food and ill feel better. please tell me this isnt what hungry is going to feel like because thats depressing. rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 218/ gw 140
