May 24 Surgery Day

[Pup 217]

What's your stats...you know, age, weight, height, goal?

I'm 52, 225, 5' 5" pushing for 140 but I realize I'm 52 and don't need to necessarily get all the way down to 140. I'm getting RNY

Hi Pup, curious as to why you chose RNY over sleeve? Feel free to message me if you prefer?

I guess I picked it because I saw a chart showing the long term weight loss seem to be a little better with the RNY. I have second-guessed myself along this journey so far but when I told the doctor that's what I wanted and the nurses along the way they all acted like it was a great idea, it's been around longer 2.

I think if anywhere along the Route somebody would have just said to me maybe you should get the sleeve I would have went that route, but I'm so psyched now I wouldn't change a thing.

That's really a great question because I always wonder why people decide to go with the sleeve

@@sarahb309 I was told that I could only have Clear liquids and the Soup is clear so I think that is a good option for myself. I am gonna strain the Soup before I eat it though.

It sure is. I'm usually irregular, but they said I had to be on birth control so I got the Mirena. I guess it's going to come on time. ???? Terrible... just terrible
