I'm sorry, I have to leave. There's a lot of great info on this site to learn, but it's just so dull and depressing after the change to the site. There's broken codes showing all over the place, many pictures don't show and tickers also show as broken codes. Good luck and high hopes that everything goes well to all that has surgery! May your life be better and healthy! :-)

Tuesday morning (Nov.12,2013) at 5:30am I have my surgery done and behind me. So ready to see where this road to a new life style goes! But mostly hoping the surgery helps me like hoping it will. Time will tell...

Oh wow, 2 days before a big holiday like Thanksgiving???!!! That would be so hard for me! lol Hope you do well with it, will be thinking of you... Sure do hope we both do well with the surgery! :-)

Get my surgery on Nov. 12. So ready to get it behind me as it seems like it's been such a long road reaching a surgery date. Hope all goes well for everyone...

Yesterday I learned that my insurance approved my surgery. Now today, I got my surgery date. Oct. 16, 2013 I start a liquid diet for 4 weeks. Don't think I'm looking forward to that. Nov. 12, 2013 Is my surgery date and have to be at the hospital at 5:00am. Which means I'll have to get up around 3:00am to get ready and get there by 5:00am. *who the hell gets up that early???* LOL I'm ready to get it all behind me now! :-)

Told today that my insurance approved my surgery, now I’m just waiting to hear from the surgeon.

Through the roof, huh??? hmmm... Look out my wife! *insert evil laugh here* lol

I've used those steroid packs in the past a few times. Made me hungry most of the time while using them.

Call from doctors office saying all files on me has now been placed on surgeons desk. Now I just wait for a phone call giving me a surgery date. Also told me when the call comes in, I have to do a three week liquid diet before surgery. Don't think I'm going to enjoy that very much. Oh well, got to do what I have to do...

Wow, sounds kinda spooky. I throught I had done all my homework and learn all I needed to know. All the support group meetings I've gone to, I've heard nothing about this, the surgeon has never mentioned it, plus my wife is out 13 1/2 months RNY surgery and she went through nothing to do with hormones unless she was hiding it mighty well, because I watched her close to see how she done with RNY surgery. I could only hope I go though it as smooth as she has I guess. So I'm guessing what... I just ride through it and wait it out if it happens with me??? Thanks everyone for your replies!

Alright guys, I've just completed all my steps towards having RNY surgery and waiting for surgeon to give me a surgery date. Now tonight my wife tells me a man who has had RNY, told her that men's hormones go crazy after having surgery and we could go mean and such stuff. Any of you have problems with hormones? Fill me in on some info if you will? I don't want to go turning into some kind of monster or have to be shot like Old Yellow dog was... Thanks!

Really???? Oh wow, I've not heard that until now. I do know all the people I know that has had RNY does dump. But the surgeon hasn't told me some don't, maybe that's his way to keep me on track making me think before I think of pushing my limit. lol I don't know. This might be a bad thing to say, but I hope I'm one that will dump.

Exactly why I'm picking RNY. I need to know I will dump and get sick if I don't follow the rules or I will cheat from time to time. I love ice cream and bread to much to back off on my own. I almost worship those two foods. lol I've met and got to know a lot of people now who have had RNY done and each one is an awesome success.

My wife started eating stuff like chilie and also mashed taters on the 2nd week.
