WTG Kyle ya look great, my surgery is 08/28 hope i can do as good as you

hi guys just had gallbladder removed last week that went better then expected next is RNY at the end of the month can have it sooner but want to heal up first. I was just wondering about the pain levels from the RNY surgery if it is at all like the gall surgery witch i think was a piece of cake the only meds i took for that was two tylenol thanks for the info and looking forward to the next step

so i guess they dont care if the other surgeries work or not?.....lol

I just dont understand why the insurance companies make us jump through so many hoops for this wls surgery. We dont jump for the other surgeries like gallbladder etc,, and they are almost the same,or am I wrong to feel this way?

I to have an overweight freind,female, we talk daily on the phone and all i hear are the bitching and complaining about being stuck in her wheelchair and about not going anywhere and being stuck in the house but when i mention WLS she keeps telling me about the effects of the drugs that put you to sleep for the surgery and stops all conversations about it..I just dont know how to handle it anymore and i pray she will come around soon, she is only in her late 40's and married with 4 young children and i worry about her

WTG weight warrior, how did ya make out with the cath, i know you were concerned with it, so am i

thanks for all the feedback, like i said i guess i'll just have to suck it up,and go through two surgeries just hope for no internal scars to screw up the RNY

just found out have to have gallbladder done before rny, just great!!!! i thought it could be done along with rny but was told that dr does not mix dirty and clean surgeries... what the hell does that mean?...tells me he wants more money!.. so now i guess i'm looking at an october date for rny
