Welcome to the group .... as far as ur question i am only 18 days out. At first i was thinking about the band .... but my doctor said with my previous health issues and where i need to be rny was better. Talk to ur doctor. Every surgery has the ones it doesn't work for or ones that don't use the tool the way they were sopose to. Sent from my DROID RAZR using RNYTalk

Congrats Sent from my DROID RAZR using RNYTalk

I think its sad that so many of us have lost or will lose a friend because they can't understand why we have chosen the path we have. Having surgery is not an easy out. And its sad that they believe it is. Surgery makes it were i am not hungry 24 7 and if it wasn't for surgery i would still be a smoker. Yea i know that some would say if i could quit for surgery i could have quit any time but i have before and always started back up. This time i can't start back up cause i don't want an ulcer. Once again surgery is a tool and we all need to use it the best we can. Sent from my DROID RAZR using RNYTalk

I was happy with the 14 lbs i lost on the pre op diet. I do recommend staying off the scale once u get home till most of the gas and iv fluids r gone so u keep ur spirit up. I came home weighting more than what i weighted when i got there. I should have stayed off for a week or so. Sent from my DROID RAZR using RNYTalk
