mandiole

My name is Mandi and I am currently 3 weeks post-op and am feeling great! I just had my post-op visit with the nutritionist and surgeon today and am right on track.  I live just south of the Minneapolis/St Paul area and had surgery at Abbott Northwestern Hospital Bariatric Center. I had the RNY on 10/29/14. The first week was rough but since then I have been feeling awesome. The B12 was a major game changer for me. I was really weak before I started taking about a week and a half after surgery. Since then my energy level is up all day, I'm sleeping much better at night (before surgery I had suffered from long time insomnia horribly bad, not sleeping for days at a time even with prescription sleeping medications). Since about 2 weeks post-op I have not even had to take my sleeping medications or acid reflux medications. I am hoping to find a mentor and use this as research. I have many family members including my mother who have had the surgery in the past and have had success and some no success so I can see both ends of the spectrum and I really want to have long term success. I look forward to meeting some people and going through this journey together!
