Hiiiii. Black girl heavy in San Diego, CA (worst place to be overweight, all this damn beach and I don't even enjoy it LOL) I'm having RNY on April 6th, I just found out I got my insurance approval and stamp of approval from my PCP today. I am excited, relieved, terrified, nervous, anxious and ready all at the same time.
Thanks yall for sharing your stories <3

I used to hate getting any extra attention. I felt like when I was much larger, it was for all of the wrong reasons and many times it was behind my back. I always hated when people would focus on my size. At first, I was never a fan of the added attention I got after surgery mostly because of the negative feelings and emotions I had always associated with it. Now, I use it as motivation on days when I am not feeling so good about myself.
There will be days on your journey where you just wont feel like you are progressing or have lost anything at all. You feel bloated and fat. It happens to all of us. Those are the days it always seems like I get a comment about how well I am doing and it always lets me know the I am on the right track regardless of how I feel. I now love when people notice me because I know people are seeing all the hard work I am putting in and it makes me feel validated.
My encouragement to you would be to embrace the attention. I know it may feel weird at first, but it is a sure sing people are noticing that there is something different about you in a good way. Your hard work is paying off.
Keep up the great work!

I may have missed something important in my research for having my GBS. I see in one of the forums that quote, " Most bypass patients wear medical bracelets after surgery. " it was said because of the possibility of a doctor or paramedic running something down your throat and perforating the pouch. I never though of this and therefore I don't have a medical Bracelet. My question is do I as a bypass patient need to wear a bracelet and do others? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi I had RNY 10-3-12. How r u? I have lost 96 lbs and I feel great! I wear a size 6 sometimes a 4. If u have questions or just want to talk. Contact me.

I had RNY 7/16/13 when I was 56 years old and 329 lbs.
11 months post op, 57 years old and I now weigh 201 lbs.
Feeling great.
Could not have done this years ago because I was NOT in the right mindset to stick to the rules of the program. My mind is at a different level now. I believe I will keep the weight off. I do not intend to become a "fat ass" again. Being fat is painful!

Weird NSV ,the two rolls of fat on my back are gone! Good riddance!!

My first NSV!!! I am 1 and a half months post op from RNY. I'm 4 weeks into a C25k (zombies run app). Just ran an entire mile nonstop! Woo! Granted I ran a 15min mile but hey it's a start! it feels great! keep up the great work everyone!

I lost 3 lbs since my 4/11 weigh in
I lost 39.4 lbs since surgery on 1/16.
Went to doctor and have lost 29% of my body weight which is right on target for 3 months post op...????

Had a setback, but what do they say a setback is just a setup for a comeback

RNY Surgery on Nov 6 2013
CW 171 soooo amazed I'm down 100lbs + a little bit :-) so thankful I did this I feel wonderful!

I am approaching the 1 year mark after surgery and I am in the maintenance stage. I don't obsess with my weight. I have an accurate scale, good for increments of 0.2 pounds. I weigh myself each morning when I get up and record my weight. I reached my bottom weight 7 months after RNY gastric bypass surgery. My weight generally falls within the 160.0 to 162.0 range. There were several times when my weight was below this figure and a few times above. Generally I look at the scale as an instantaneous feedback tool. I do a lot of experimentation. If I see a weight gain outside the range, I return to my basic meal plan and the weight falls back in line. So far some of the items that I have to stay away from by using this method are: bread, sweet corn, sweet cherries. On the other side, some of the things that appear to drive my weight below the limit is when I pick up a cold or when I eat out at restaurants.
