Gosh, I'm so glad I found this site and so many people in the same boat as me. I am having the RNY in Johannesburg, South Africa on the 5th.I live in East London on the east coast of SA. Heaviest weight 296 , currently 279... so at least the journey has started. I am on my 4th day of full liquids and it is a bit of a struggle! I have only told 2 people, so that's another issue I have to go through! My staff don't even know I'm leaving for Jburg on Tuesday... Ill have to make up some story by Monday morning...I find myself extremely emotional, cry for any little reason
