Hi, I'm new here. I am having RNY this morning. It's taken a year (almost exactly) to finally get here. I am 39 years old. 5'2 and as of this morning 220 lbs. I have been overweight my entire adult life. Never under 185 and my highest was 240. A few years ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and I am insulin dependent. I've had a few episodes of DKA and have been hospitalized for those. I am so excited for this next step. What I have been struggling with is no one wants to talk about wls. It's not like it's all I talk about but close friends/family seem to want to talk about anything else. Do any of you deal with this? I'm not ashamed of this choice. I know this is right for me. Frustrating. Anyway my surgery is at 7:30. Starting to feel a few nerves. Wish me luck!

Thanks everyone. Such an amazing feeling having so many people on this journey also. I came home today. Boy the first 36 hours out were ROUGH! But this morning I woke up and a new day had arrived. Feeling so much better. It was a 2 1/2 hour drive home so that wiped me out and has me feeling off routine. Tried sleeping tonight but but woke up after a couple hours and here I sit. So so so relieved the worst part is behind me. New year, new me!
