I had bad fatigue for most of the first 2 months. I'm now at 4.5 months and I feel great. I would not call it normal, I would call it my new normal. And my new normal is much better than the old one. It's different, but I think it's better.

I am 15 months post-op from RNY. I did not experience the symptoms you described. Overall, I believe one never gets back to normal after the operation. But I did reach a "Happy State" at around 6 months after the surgery and have been in this state ever since.

Shop around at some larger, well respected jewelry stores. I just had mine resized (RNY ON 6/25/13; total weight lost 205 pounds). My ring size went from a 7.5 to a 5.25. For the months in between I had them put on a sizer. It worked great for me and only cost $15.00. I did take my rings off when I showered or had my hands in Water, but I was able to adjust it as my hands got smaller. I will be married 20 years next month, it was important to me to be able to wear my rings.

An attempt at humor.

put away 200 a month for 3 years. Then go to Mexico

RCT - First of all, Mexico is NOT a third world country. You are obviously ignorant on the options in Mexico and making judgements. We don't need people to bring those of us down that are struggling with Obesity and are looking for ways to make our life better and regain our health and happiness. We are here to encourage, support and inform. And lastly the correct form of the verb is RUN. You would have RUN out of there not ran.

It's fine if you want to be misinformed and appear ignorant here, that's your right I guess. But you obviously know nothing about the Medical Tourism in Mexico. I don't think you probably want to know about it either since I believe you're just here to stir the pot and troll, but surgeons in Mexico have been doing these procedures longer than most surgeons in the US, they have great outcomes, the hospitals are clean (as clean as in the US), some of the surgeons are even members of American surgical associations, so there you go.

Then I think you made a wrong turn at the corner of Rude Rd. and Judgmental Junction.

Stupidity speaks again! This is what happen when someone who knows so little speaks before thinking.
*rolls eyes*

Perhaps the poor dear did not realize that she is in the "self pay MEXICO forum......
* leaves the room while all hell breaks loose*

Why, cost and they actually do everything exactly like in the states. Without the headaches of pre classes, psychiatric consults, nutritionists. I have 20 years Operating Room experience in the states and checked it out

BOOM!!!! And let the fireworks begin. Dang, getting sleeved tomorrow and can't even sit back with some popcorn and enjoy the show.

I am 5 months out and I remember feeling just like you. Fast forward 4 months and its a whole different ball game. No regrets! Down 75 pounds, eating more reasonable portions and able to drink an entire water bottle within an hour. I remember sipping thinking I can live like this! Rest assured it gets easier with time. Things are very swollen and your main focus right now is healing. The rest will come in time, you'll see...each day you'll start to feel a little bit better. I have so much energy now, going to the gym and feeling better than my previous self. Best wishes to the both of you! You'll be surprised how fast time will go by, you're going to do great!
