Good for you so happy that you are doing well. How is that pain pump? Is it your best friend? You know that I'm a punk when it comes to pain. You were up quick, thats's great.

Congratulations! You are on the losers bench...I'l be there soon. I want to be able to chime in while in the hospital also, thank you for letting us know you are ok.

Lol we are the same hight... I like my height.

Yeah for you...What do they do at the post op apt.?

Great question, Iwant to know that too.

I use soy milk, and I love it...it doesn't give me gas:-)

It took a week for me after they put everything in. It ws another week for me to find out because I don't check my voicemail often.

Yes! But I just told my self to just keep moving forward until everything is over. So that's what I'm going to do. No turning back now my date is just days away.

I have had a very abnormal cycle of heave bleeding and clotting. I went to the ER and got an IV they also have me birth control pills. I took them for one day only and didn't take the rest because I know they give you blood clots and I don't want to take the chance. How long before your RNY date were you told to stop taking your pills?

Are you on Iron? I'm also haveing a very heavy cycle this month, I was even in the ER last week. They gave me an IV and sent me on my way with birth control pills to stop the bleeding. I didn't take them because my sergery is on the 15th of Oct. and birthcontrol pills can cause blood clotting, I don't want to take the risk. I've been on this cycle for three weeks now, but it seams as if it's slowing down now. You may want to take your supliments and get to some IV liquds in. I was taking fish oils and was told to stop because they can cause bleeding as well.

You look very nice good work.

Hi, and welcome to the group. My date for RNY is Oct. 15, also...there are several of us with that date.

I was thinking the same thing.

Well I just got off the phone with the the Dr.'s office and my date is Nov. 15, 2012!!! I'm very happy as you all know... Now that I have my date, I'm feeling at peace with the whole idea of this and I'm ready to get going. I'm doing this alone, I've told no one, so I'm really counting on my RNY FAMILY for support. Thank you all so many of you have help get to this point with your stories and advise.

Thank you, I will need it.
