6 more days til RNY - oh my!



Recommended Posts

Hello All! I'm new here and am feeling nervcited (nervous and excited) for my surgery this Monday! I am doing well on my liquid diet. I am just now getting frustrated with the lack of variety in my options. Especially when I am still cooking delicious meals for my family.

Anyway, I have been thinking about RNY for years now. But I hit my highest weight and lowest point of self esteem ever. So it is time for a change! I can not wait for me to be able to do more things I used to enjoy! I'm sure you all can understand.

I am struggling with the "what ifs" though. I have asked myself what if this goes wrong? My mind imagines the worst outcome and how my husband, kids and family would be...anyway, it worries me. I am keeping my mind focused on the facts and stats that are in my favor! Staying positive and praying!

Glad a friend told me about this page!!

Good luck to you all!

Good luck!! Don't freak yourself out. My surgery was May 17th and very smoothly done. No pain after day 3. It was very easy for me!! I hope it goes the same for you!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
