It's too early for me to answer, but with my RNY procedure only days away I've come to the point where I need to just look ahead. Yeah, granted, I did have my doubts, but I worked through that over the past 11 months. Thanks to the many postings by people here, I'm more encouraged that I'm making the right decision. I just need to look beyond the pain and adjustment period that'll follow for weeks post-surgery.
