    Dizzy & Icky Feeling!

    Honestly I felt lousy for about 4 weeks post op. i'm now 4 months out and feel great. It takes time

    Nerve damage

    Probably about 5 weeks until it completely went away.

    Nerve damage

    I had that same burning feeling. My surgeon said it was normal. That's where most of the work was done. It does go away with time.
  4. I'm 5'1 my starting weight was 212. One month post op and I'm down 31 pounds. My goal weight is 125 and my doctor says I should be able to reach my goal weight.

    Women and Hormones...

    I was pretty emotional for the first week. I cried about everything. I'm only 2 weeks out but it's better. My face has cleared up. I was breaking out all the time. Now I have no pimples at all. I haven't noticed any smells. I hope I don't smell.

    Not sure what to do.....

    I've been on Phentermine several times and each time I did get moody and very emotional. I was able to lose weight on them, but as soon as I went of them and the appetite returned I gained again. How long have you been on them?

    Stage 2 Woo Hoo!

    I'm going to try this. Sounds so good.

    How long!

    I had my surgery on Jan 16th and I would say about 3-4 weeks. I am almost 2 weeks out and still very sore.

    If One More Person!

    I have heard all of this as well. I was 212 when I went for my consult. So I heard and still hear that this was not necessary, and if I had just set my mind to it and worked hard I wouldn't have had to take the "easy way out" I have stopped trying to defend my decision. I just tell people it's not their business.

    RNY on Jan 16

    Hi! We're all here for support. I love this place. Have you checked locally for support meetings? Sometimes you can find them in or around your own town.

    St. Lukes Hospital In Allentown Pa Anyone?

    I had mine done at Geisinger in Danville PA. A friend of my moms had hers done at St Lukes and said the care was excellent.

    Why RNY and not the sleeve?

    I was interested in the sleeve, but I have issues with reflux, and my Dr told me that it would get worse with the sleeve. Also there is a higher success rate with RNY. So that's why I chose to have the RNY.
  14. My surgery was Jan 16th and I'm having a hard time getting my protein and water in too. I sip all day and still just can't seem to get it all in.

    Stomach growling

    I'm only 4 days post op and my stomach is so loud. My kids think it's hysterical.
