Congratulation I had mine on 7/20 and I am so excited for a better life. Good luck to you.

I had my bypass on 7/20 and I did not have a drain I stayed in the hospital 3 day's. I have to say I was truly blessed I have not had any problems do far.

My prayers are with you.

Also, if you do not have a Sams you can get these protein shakes at Cos o.

If you are having trouble finding a Protein drink at SAMs there is one called Premier it has 30 grams of protein. This drink tast more like chocolate milk and two of these you will have your protein z For the day.

I absolutely do think about it. The other day I was in Ann Taylor with my daughter. I told her I can't wait till I can go in and just try on clothes like that.

I had my surgery on the 20th everyone sai to walk and that is the key. You may not feel like it but walk that helps with the gas. I will keep you in my prayers.

In the morning I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 surgery at 7:30. It is hard to believe it's here

Thank you I will keep you posted

Yesterday was my last visit with my suergeon Everything is good to go for Friday 5 am. Dr DePeri asked how I was doing I told him I am excited but scared and nerveous he assured me this is normal. If it is,boy am I normal. I have completed all of my hospital registration Everything is Good to go. All I have to do is show up for the party since I am the guest of honor. I started this journey 7 months ago it is hard to believe it is just a few days away.

I have been following RNY for several months. Reading the post have made me realize that I am not in this alone, there are people that feel the same way I do. I am 56 years old and I have been overweight most of my life. I have tried every diet at least once. There is no telling how many pounds I have gained and lost in my life. I am married with two children that are grown and six grandchildren. I want to feel better and be able to go places without having to stop and rest or tell them to go ahead and I will wait on the bench for them. In life there is that moment when we know we have to make a change. My moment was last November when I had to have emergency surgery on my knee. I was told by the Doctor that I needed to lose 100 lbs. asap or I was looking to have knee replacement within a year. The decision to have this surgery was not a quick decision. I have had severial family members who have died due to complications with type 2 diabeties. With the family history and having diabeties and high blood pressure along with the knee surgery it made me face the fact that I had to decide what to do and not put it off like I had in the past. My weight was of course a very big factor 310 lbs. Wow that took a lot for me to say. When I had made up my mind I went to work on getting everything done so that I could have my surgery in the summer. My surgery is scheduled for July 20th, I am excited, nervious, and scared. I have to be at the hospital at 5:15 am, and that is a good time for me the earlier the better. All of your post have helped me so much whether it was good or bad experieces. I feel like I am going on this journey with my eyes wide open thanks to all of you.
