This is a new group I created with the idea of a friend. We can share our accomplishments, pictures, stories anything about of surgeries. Everyone is welcome. Come join us, and share your story and your accomplishments.

PS if you click on the link it will take you to the page, however if you type it you must type all of it with no spaces. I had to display it like this so the whole link would show:

https: / / www. Facebook. com / groups / rnyyoudidit /

You can also post your email and I will send you and invite.

Would you consider making this a secret group instead of closed group instead? Only a handful of people know about my surgery and I would like to stay as private as possible with it with the exception of other wls patients.

I am in the same boat. Very few people know about my surgery except you guys here and my very close family.

Question I keep getting asked. . . ."Why are you doing bypass and not the sleeve?" I'd love to hear everyone else's answers. . .
I am getting the bypass not the sleeve as I have really bad acid reflux. There is evidence to suggest that the sleeve causes/worsens acid reflux. So to me, it's a no brainier. No acid reflux--> rny. Haha

Dr tanner. :-). He is pretty awesome. I don't have a date yet. Insurance just approved me yesterday so now I have to wait for Veronica to call me. She's absolutely horrible. I can't stand her.

I know they have had several complaints on her. I would call her everyday if you don't get anywhere asked to speak to Erin she is the director of the Bariatric center.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
