Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to this app and it's my first post.

I started this journey in January 2016 and finished my last requirement on Thursday. My surgeons office called me on Friday with a surgery date of May 9th and start pre-op diet on April 25th.

I was set on having the sleeve, but my surgeon explained to me that due to my severe acid reflux (GERD), he doesn't recommend it. He suggested the RNY. I've researched it and decided to have the RNY.

I'm super excited to start this journey, on becoming healthier!

Anyone else having the surgery on or around this date?

Best of luck on your surgery! I am having RNY surgery on May 3rd and start my 9 day liquid diet on the 24th. I originally wanted the Duodenal Switch but because of my severe GERD I decided RNY was a better choice.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
